Science myths you probably were taught at school!

I don't know if I actually learned these in school, but they were kind of that "common knowledge" thing you heard everyone say.





Water is blue
NOT ONLY because of sky reflection!


House flies DO NOT have a span of 24 hours!

Mercury is NOT the hottest planet of our solar system!


You WON’T catch cold just at low temperature! (I think we all figured out that one on our own)

The Great Wall of China is NOT PARTICULARLY visible from space!


Red DOES NOT enrage Bulls!

There are NO left or right brained people!

We DO NOT have just five senses!

They also tried to sell me on people coming from fish and monkeys but I didn't buy any of that nonsense.

Humans use more than 10% of our brains. Well... most of us, anyway.

lol That explains it.





I'm still stuck on the "more than 5 senses" that's the first time I'd heard of that. I understand it's actually around 20.

One can only hope it was a joke.

Anyway...the only thing on that list (or any of the other ones mentioned) I was maybe taught about was the 5 senses...and I'm not so sure I was even taught that there were only 5.
