I can only say that this is another nonsense with no new ideas.
Why do you say that? Let's draw a general conclusion: so far, there is no evidence that there was a prehistoric civilization on the earth, and there are no signs of aliens coming. Even if there is no trace, there are only rumors, lies, fabrications and legends.
I searched all over the Internet, but I can only find some cliches: scientists found artificial metal gears 400 million years ago in kamchatka peninsula, Russia, and such posts are usually accompanied by a fuzzy gear-like picture (above and below).
But these posts passed around have no source. I wonder if you found this? Big case? Who is the scientist? What is the evidence that he thinks this is a gear 2 billion years ago? What journals are these research papers published in? What scientific research institutions and scientists are interested in this so-called? Did you find it? Verified and checked.
Did you say that? Did you find it? Is it credible? Maybe you will say, isn't there a picture to prove it? Let me tell you, it's too easy to take such a photo. Who hasn't met all kinds of porn and fakes as long as they often wander on the Internet? Besides, what can such a picture show? Even if the gear in this picture is real, who can prove that it appeared 2 billion years ago?
If it really happens, it will subvert the whole human cognition.
Do you know what it means to make such a discovery? I tell you, this will be the most amazing discovery in human history. It will subvert not only the theory of biological evolution, but also the theory of cosmic evolution. All human historical and cultural heritage will be rewritten, and even all scientific theories will be rebuilt. Galileo, Newton, Maxwell and Einstein are no longer great god scientists, because great gods have existed since prehistoric times.
Such a discovery, which shocked the development history of mankind and even the earth, was mysteriously spread on the Internet by a few unknown people. Is there any scientific logic in this? I have said so much, if you still believe, I can conclude that you are a person without scientific spirit and scientific literacy.
Let me ask you one more question. If a stranger showed you some rubbish casually and said it was a relic of prehistoric civilization, would you believe it? If you don't believe it, why do you believe the rubbish on the Internet? Do you think you should believe what is posted online?
From this, I think of some articles published in the past, criticizing giant skulls, crystal skulls, footprints of trilobites, nuclear reactors 2 billion years ago, prehistoric iron pipes, prehistoric metal balls and so on. Some of these things are artificial, some are hearsay, some are strange ancient animal and plant fossils, but they look a bit like something. Some people deliberately cite them as far-fetched, some are ancient, and some people can push them to prehistoric times indefinitely.
These mysterious people are nothing more than grandstanding or cheating on fame, and many of them are cheating on money. These things have long been exposed by skinning cramps in the scientific community, but after a while, someone will turn them out to bask in the sun and there will be a group of followers.
This is not surprising, because these things have breeding soil.
China Association for Science and Technology has conducted many regular surveys on the basic scientific literacy of China citizens. According to statistics, the proportion of people with basic scientific literacy to the total number of citizens is 3.2% for 20 10, 6.20% for 20 15 and 8.47% for 20 18. Seeing these data, China citizens' scientific literacy shows a gratifying upward trend, but overall, it is still very low. Even in 20 18, there are still 9 1.53% people who do not have scientific literacy.
The results of the survey in 2020 have not yet been announced, and it is believed that it will be improved, but it is an unchangeable trend that most citizens do not have scientific literacy in the short term. Of course, it is an indisputable fact that not only people in China, but also most people in western developed countries have no scientific literacy.
Don't think that people with academic qualifications must have scientific literacy. In fact, many people with academic qualifications and even under the banner of experts and scholars don't even have basic scientific literacy, and even degenerate into the mud pit of folk science. Otherwise, how can some pseudo-science, anti-intelligence and anti-science things last forever, and sometimes they will be flooded? And some originally very scientific things are often difficult to implement and progress is slow?
It is this social soil that makes some rumors and lies, fake and shoddy, conspiracy theories, anti-intelligence, anti-science and pseudo-science breed and spread.
So what is the basic scientific literacy?
Let's take a look at several questions in the question bank (500 questions) of "China citizens' scientific quality standards" issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology (see the above picture and the following picture). It turns out that the so-called scientific literacy is not something tall, but common sense. But this common sense is based on scientific spirit and scientific method.
What is scientific spirit? That is, when we observe and analyze problems, we should get used to the fine traditions, cognitive styles, behavioral norms and value orientations formed by scientific development. Believe in things that come from practice, instead of imagining hearsay at will;
What is the scientific method? Attention should be paid to observation, experiment and experiment, and results should be achieved by combining quantitative and qualitative analysis, so that all claimed scientific achievements can stand the test of methods widely recognized by the scientific community. In addition, we should advocate that science has no borders, everyone is equal before the truth, we should not admit the ultimate truth, we should not be superstitious about authority, and we should advocate the spirit of doubt, criticism and enterprising.
Therefore, science is not superior, but if we master the scientific spirit and scientific methods, we can identify all kinds of pseudoscience pseudoscience and rumors, treat life scientifically, we will be more harmonious and happy, and life will become superior.
I want to see these. Do you have any judgment on this so-called 2 billion-year-old gear? In the future, if you see some mysterious and shocking rumors or rumors on the Internet or some people, you must think calmly and see if there is any evidence, whether the evidence has been verified and recognized by the scientific community, and whether there is a reliable institution to announce the witness's conclusion, so you will know whether it is true or not.
