“scientific achievements that first evince a laugh, and then make you think” – in New York in the 25 th time He was awarded the Ig Nobel prize. Scientists have wondered how they could: forced bees to sting itself, cooked eggs on the contrary, and even created a dinosaur from a chicken-and-plunger.
“scientific achievements that first evince a laugh, and then make you think” – in New York 25 th time awarded the Ig Nobel prize. Scientists have wondered how they could: forced bees to sting itself, cooked eggs and vice versa even created a dinosaur from a chicken and plunger.
When the scientists fool around, they do it in a big way and without a second thought. After all, the most ridiculous idea may lead to the discovery. Once biologists from the University of Chile in Santiago jokingly tied chickens invoice heavy tail. Ten years later, it turned out that way you can study the gait theropods – the dinosaurs lived millions of years ago.
“One of the main problems in the study of dinosaurs – in their absence. But we do know that birds – their direct descendants. And if you put them in the same condition in which there were dinosaurs, you can get a pilot model dinosaur “- explains biologist Jose Iriarte Diaz.
The 25th Ig Nobel Prize ceremony was dedicated to life in all its manifestations. On this subject even put a mini-opera in three acts with the participation of all living beings. And as a prize awarded flowerpot. On leaves – chemical elements, a fundamental principle of all life.
The prize for medicine went to researchers from Slovakia, who have found in the saliva of female DNA of the men an hour after a passionate kiss. Nothing on earth does not pass without leaving a trace – about it and therefore to speak for a long time.
“We are confident that the man for some time is the DNA of women, just define it in a man, for objective reasons, it is impossible”, – says Yaroslav Durdyakova from the University of Bratislava.
Chemists of Australia two years of trying again to make boiled eggs raw. Happened. But while half.
“group, in which I worked, was able to identify a protein of boiled egg and put it back to its natural liquid state, like a crude product. We are now working on yolk” – explains chemist Gregory Weiss.
Austrian Mathematicians have calculated the life of the Moroccan Sultan Ismail, which rumor attributed to 888 children (600 of them have been proven). It turned out to be so prolific that it is possible, if you try to at least twice a day. All life. No weekends.
“shnobelem” for achievements in the diagnosis was handed to the British, who proved that crossing the “speed bump” the worst tolerated by patients with acute exacerbation of appendicitis.
Prize for Literature went to linguists, To establish that the questioning interjection “Huh?” It exists in all languages. A prize for physics – scientists from the American University of Georgia. They proved that all mammals, regardless of size, celebrate small need an average of 21 seconds. The observations were made at the zoo. The sharpest impression left rhinoceros.
Prize for Physiology was awarded to two Americans who have experienced where the bee stings the worst of it.
“We have identified 25 sites, including the most sensitive. Bees alternately stung me in these places, and we are reaching pre-pain scale, found that the most sensitive spot – in the nose. Please do not laugh, it’s really very painful, “- said the physiologist Michael Smith.
In addition to the pot with a strange plant laureates awarded monetary compensation – bill rare dignity. No competition can boast such a huge prize pool – $ 10 trillion – a unit of thirteen zeros. However, the Zimbabwean dollar, the turnover of the money seized several years ago. Spend a new scientific study of them will fail.
