Before the occurrence of Jishi Mountain in Gansu Province, local residents found a large number of crows gathered in the low altitude of the city, and some people said that the gathering of crows was a sign of the occurrence of **.
Is this statement reliable?According to CCTV, Su Dechen, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, said in an interview: "Every winter, crows prefer to fly to the city to gather. Because urban areas have a heat island effect, they are relatively warm. "We can't say that the gathering of crows is a sign of what happened this time. Su Dechen also said that although there have been reports of abnormal reactions in animals when ** occurs, from a scientific point of view, up to now, it has not been possible to establish an inevitable connection between animal abnormal reactions and **.
A closer look at this sentence leads to two conclusions. One is that the crow is focused at low altitude in the local urban area, which is not a sign of this **. The other is that the so-called animal warning** is not scientific at present.
But in reality, we can often see an intriguing phenomenon: there are always people who swear that animals can warn**. For example, before the arrival of **, birds gather, poultry fly high, cats and dogs bark, cows stop producing milk, frogs jump out of the pond ......said with a nose and eyes, and even accompanied by a picture, supplemented by **, which makes people suspicious, and it seems that they have to believe it.
However, the so-called animal warning** is not scientific at present. Some experts pointed out that there is no scientific basis for the prediction of abnormal animal behavior. The basis is that there are many reasons for abnormal animal behavior, such as ambient temperature, air pressure, humidity, ambient gas taste, sound, and animal Xi. According to statistics and research at home and abroad, it can be seen that before the arrival of some big **, some animals have abnormalities. But there are also some big ** before, there is no animal abnormality, "it is impossible to judge that the abnormal behavior of animals is related to the occurrence of **." ”
It should be said that this assertion is justified. It is unscientific to simply identify ** drop based on the abnormality of animals. Forcibly linking the two, taking it for granted that it constitutes a "logical closed loop", and spreading it widely, it is very easy to cause panic, make the public uneasy, and the consequences are unimaginable.
In addition, in the community, there is also a popular saying that "fish scale cloud" can also warn **, fish scale cloud is **cloud, and when you see fish scale cloud, you must quickly flee from your place of residence. This is even more absurd. Relevant departments have repeatedly refuted rumors that the so-called "**cloud" has nothing to do with **, and it is not scientific to call the fish scale cloud **cloud.
In this case, why is there a market for fish scale clouds and animal anomalies to warn **?
On the one hand, the scientific literacy of the people needs to be improved. Statistics released by authoritative departments show that in 2022, the proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy will reach 1293%。It should be said that this proportion has been significantly improved compared with the past, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Scientific research and popularization of science are like the wings of a bird and the two wheels of a car, which are indispensable and indispensable.
On the other hand, science also has shortcomings and cannot solve all the doubts of mankind. In this context, when some people are unable to use science to answer "strange" phenomena, especially in the information cocoon, they cannot find convincing answers, it is easy to associate and even think of non-scientific and irrational things.
Based on this, we do not believe in animal warnings**, nor do we spread animal warnings**, which is responsible for ourselves and science. In particular, some public platforms need to be responsible for defending their territory and not allowing non-scientific and irrational things to prevail and disturb people's hearts.
