Ask yourself right now, why is the sky blue? For the vast majority of us, we might have to think for a moment, recollecting those memories from middle school science classes. The truth is, we often know a lot less than we think about the world around us. 

The “Fake Science” Twitter page is dedicated to creating “vintage-style” posters with, you guessed it, scientific facts that seem like they could be real but are actually as fake as a unicorn. So get comfortable before you scroll through, be sure to upvote your favorites and comment your thoughts below.

    An “interesting” development in the modern world is the abject rejection of science by a certain segment of society. Take flat earthers for example, people who have decided to reject evidence dating back to the 5th century BCE. It’s important to note that even the ancients had some understanding that the world was not just a disk and took measurements to try and get a better picture. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    For example, multiple Greek philosophers and mathematicians, including Pythagoras (you may remember his theory for triangles,) Aristotle, and Ptolemy all did measurements and took observations of the natural world and concluded that the earth must have been round.

    And this isn’t just limited to ancient Greece, Vedic texts from roughly the same time period actually assumed the earth was spherical when developing timetables and charting astronomy. Despite some common history myths (it seems humans can have a wrong understanding of most things) the Romans and even the early Christian church, all believed in a spherical model of the planet.

    The origins of this myth, a true “fake science” fact of the past comes from American writer Washington Irving’s belief that early opposition to Christopher Columbus was from the church that believed his ships would simply go over the side of the earth. Seeing as the church had no such belief at the time and there is no record of this, Washington Irving may have founded the entire flat earth movement on a lie

    Of course, even people who are wholly on the side of science will often spout falsehoods about our world. Let’s take the seasons for example. In the northern hemisphere, winter is cooler and summer is warmer. Many a parent has told their children that this is a result of the (spherical) Earth being closer to the sun, but the real “culprit” is Earth's 23.4-degree axial tilt.

    And on the topic of space, there is an often repeated anecdote that NASA spent millions developing a pen that would work in space, while the Soviet Union just used a pencil. Except that the graphite in a pencil is conductive and its shavings could be an electrical fire risk. The bottom line is that this joke is simply false. Additionally, the pen NASA did use went for $6 a unit and the USSR actually bought some as well.

    There's not a sheep within a 100km but it still itches because it's the histamine in the saliva. If you apply heat to the bite (as hot as you can tolerate and not burn the skin) the source of the itch breaks down and the itch stops (thankyou Dr Karl).

    People do love a good story, which is probably why the anecdote stuck. Similarly, and this might shock some people, lemmings do not commit mass suicide. The 1958 Disney documentary film “White Wilderness” presented this idea as a fact, while in reality it was completely fabricated. Even worse, the documentary wasn’t even original, as there were legends from the 19th century about lemming suicides.

    And on the topic of cartoon producers lying to us, mice have no special love for cheese. Certainly, they will eat it, but in reality, most mice prefer sweet food items. This myth may have been a side effect of people storing cheese outside before indoor refrigeration was common. Unsupervised, outdoor cheese would have been an easier picking for an enterprising mouse.

    Unfortunately, other pop science facts, like the housefly having a lifespan of 24 hours, are false. In reality, the buzzing pest can live up to thirty days, most of which are spent ramming headfirst into a window. This is positively an eternity compared to some forms of mayflies that can reach stunning maximum lifespans of up to five minutes. So next time you are browsing Spotify, try to see what songs could fit into a mayfly's entire life.

    I think one of the best ways to get rid of them is to use extreme heat in a room. There are companies that bring in these giant heaters and heat the room to the point that they are killed. They also use bed bug sniffing dogs to see what rooms are really infested.

    Some Australian magpies will. They grab the front of your clothing with their claws for support while pecking at your face, even though you supply them with pre-pecked eyes. But don't worry, these most troublesome of magpies have been mostly relocated out of Brisbane now, to Canberra.

    The Pedal Power group in Canberra used to supply "eye" stickers to go on the back of your bike helmet. They work because the Australian Death Magpie won't swoop if you are looking at it. Works much better than the nest of cable ties sticking out of the top of the helmet I see here in Brisbane where they still get swooped on and I don't with my rear eyes. BTW, if you have a local swooping DM, feed it. Once it gets to know you it won't swoop you.

    Similarly, cockroaches are quite resilient, but not to the degree that they would be the sole inheritors of the earth. First and foremost, they would simply not survive direct exposure to a nuclear blast, nor the ensuing destruction of most of the food chain. While they might not get incinerated, the cereal they steal from your cupboards would. Additionally, they are not the only creature out there that has some innate methods to resist radiation.

    Actually ... yes! A major contributor to the death of the dinosaurs, probably more significant than the asteroid, is the Deccan Traps in India. This spewed thousands (if not millions) of cubic kilometres of lava onto the surface of the Earth, releasing volcanic glasses carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in such huge quantities as to poison the whole of the Earth's atmosphere and most of the oceans. Killing everything that couldn't fly away, hibernate, or head for the deep ocean. The carbon dioxide from the lava would have turned the oceans into a delicious soda.

    The Deccan eruptions were likely caused by the asteroid impact. Also, the living stuff on this side of the planet didn't have time to be affected by volcanic gases halfway around the world; what wasn't incinerated by the initial impact was killed in the resulting tsunamis and wildfires.

    The scientific fact behind this cartoon is that there's no scientific difference between a moth and a butterfly. A moth tends to have branched antennae and fly at night. A butterfly tends to have smooth antennae and fly during the day. But there's a fair bit of overlap.
