5 myths that we learned from kindergarten

Where we have come to understand what’s going on in the world around us and we begin to wonder, and…
we express our questions out loud, our parents us to send them to school, where they leave part of the περιέργειάς us… in the hands of the teachers and of the teachers.
Of course, teachers are people, yes some have the tendency to “transmit from generation to generation” a number of myths, writes o Eddie Rodriguez at Cracked.
Here are some of these myths “circulating” in kindergartens and primary schools:
5. The Coriolis effect, which controls the time that follows the water in the basins of the toilet
The myth: When we learn that the Earth rotates around its axis, we start to learn, and what effects this has on our lives. Gives us the night and the day, makes the stars “move” in the sky and… the water in the basins of the toilet to rotate in opposite directions in the northern and the southern hemisphere, thanks to something called the “Coriolis effect”.
“The power Κοριόλις explains the αντιωρολογιακή (as to an observer at the South pole) movement of the wind on the surface of the earth. The surface of the earth due to the rotation is changing direction and therefore accelerating. However, in an accelerated reference system are not applicable, the laws of motion of Newton. We need, a force that explains this move, the Coriolis effect. Every move in the Northern hemisphere deflected to the right and in the southern hemisphere are opposite to the left, and as long as the force is perpendicular to the velocity, the trajectories of the winds is a circular” writes Wikipedia.
The reality: in Order for Coriolis force to have an effect on phenomena that occur on Earth, you need them to be… big. Thus, it can affect the direction in which they rotate the hurricanes and cyclones, but does not affect the time of the water in the basins of the toilets. That’s probably responsible for the shape of the basin and the plumbing!
4 diamonds is a… coal
The myth: Everyone knows that if someone wants a diamond has two options: a) to put your hand deep into your pocket and buy one of the jewelers in the neighborhood of, (b) to get a piece of coal and to bury it deep in the Earth, in the yard of his house and… 10,000 years later, will have his own diamond! The basic ingredients of the recipe are: carbon and high blood pressure.
The reality: While scientists can’t say with absolute certainty what the exact “source” of the diamond, the majority of them, agree on one thing: that it is… coal!
The basic structural component of all the diamond is pure carbon, not coal, and even age many thousands of years.
“The diamond deposits are divided into primary and secondary. In primary diamond deposits are scattered within veins or terrestrial natural pipes are full of igneous rock called kimberlite (from Kimberley (Kimberley), South Africa). The secondary deposits derived from the weathering of primary and transport of weathering. It is considered that the diamonds were formed at depths greater than 100 kilometers below the earth and is the crystallisation of a magma kimperlitikis recommendation. Because kimberlite melts at 1500 degrees Celsius, the initial crystallization of diamond was under great pressure and high temperature. Through the veins of diamonds are found scattered in fragments, big or small,” according to Wikipedia.
3. Dogs don’t sweat (or they sweat by their tongues)
The myth: dogs gasp because I don’t sweat.
The reality: it Is true that the dogs gasp, because this helps them to cool off when it gets too hot, but that doesn’t mean that the language is a huge ιδρωτοποιός gland. All of these liquids with which you fill your favorite pet is, in fact, drool. Signs of sweat is more likely to find one in the nose of a dog or on the soles of his feet, and that’s because they are the only parts of his body not covered by fur.
2. Bats are blind
The myth: Since we are creatures of the night, the bats don’t need the vision and is blind.
The reality: in The eyes of bats are not just decorative.
1. Milk’s good for the bones
The myth: milk is good for bones because it has calcium.
The reality: While it may be true that calcium is good for bone health, milk may not be the best way to get the necessary amount of calcium for the body. In fact, with regard to bone health, probably most important is the role of exercise, heredity, hormone levels, the fact if someone is smoking, the intake of the necessary proteins and vitamins D and K.
