At the end of April, some netizens broke the news. Published an article, the theme is that boiled eggs can hatch chickens again. The article also gives the process and results of the experiment of bringing boiled eggs back to life, as well as the pictures of hatched chickens at last. Immediately after being exposed, it caused an uproar. At first, the author claimed that his experiment was well-founded and there was no problem. However, with the fermentation of public opinion, he (she) had to admit that his academic paper was faked, which was written by Hua 600 yuan.
Cooked eggs can't be turned into raw eggs, let alone chicks, but this kind of article can be published, causing the following problems.
The first is the magazine's comments on published articles. The magazines, photos and geography involved obviously have no awe of science. They publish articles only for profit, and don't care about the scientific basis and facts behind the articles. This kind of article, created purely for charging, has no effect on the development of science and technology.
Secondly, the author's attitude towards scientific research. In fact, this article is not just as simple as ghostwriting. There are 8 Chinese papers, and the author has made a public speech on the theme of the return of boiled eggs. People with common sense know that this question is wrong, but he can still speak publicly, and even many people listen, which is outrageous. The author once advocated that this topic should be adopted as a course of Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is ridiculous.
Finally, the question of why pseudoscience can develop. A series of courses in the author's school are pseudoscience courses, which teach students how to hatch chickens with thoughts and even talk to mung bean sprouts. This course is incredibly expensive, and even the parents of students are willing to sign up, which shows that the public is not aware of the harm of pseudoscience.
Perhaps the exposure to the retrogradation of cooked eggs can also promote researchers to carry out experiments more scientifically and rigorously, which is helpful to the development of society, but this kind of article really should not be published again.
