Recently, a paper on "Boiled Eggs Rebirth and Hatching Chickens" has attracted online attention.
The full name of the paper is "Boiled Eggs Turned into Raw Eggs (Eggs Regeneration)-Experimental Report on Hatching Chicks", which was published by Chunlin Vocational Training School in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province in "Photo Geography" magazine.
The paper describes, “Under the guidance of the school’s instructors, students have used super-psychological consciousness energy methods to turn cooked eggs into raw eggs, and hatch the regenerated eggs into chicks, and they have successfully regenerated more than 40 eggs. ".
I believe that when you read the content of this article, you can't believe your eyes.
But you’re not mistaken, boiled eggs can not only turn into raw eggs, but also hatch chickens. What is going on?
Observing time and space today, let's focus on this absurd paper.
Absurd paper published twice in academic journals
According to public information, the paper was published in the June 2020 issue of "Photo Geography".
The authors are Guo Ping, principal of Zhengzhou Chunlin Vocational Training School, and Bai Weiyun, chief physician of a hospital in Henan.
The article said: "The rebirth of eggs, as the name suggests, turns from boiled eggs into raw eggs. This is an unimaginable, or even impossible, thing. But such a peculiar phenomenon did happen in Zhengzhou Chunlin Vocational Training School. A group of people. Specially trained students, under the guidance of Teacher Guo Ping, are conducting a peculiar experiment, that is, boiled eggs are turned into raw eggs again, and the returned raw eggs are hatched into chicks, and more than 40 have been successfully reborn." The experiment process is divided into five steps: picking eggs, boiling eggs, loading eggs, rebirth, and hatching.
The steps of rebirth are as follows: "Students begin to use the super-psychological consciousness energy method to start the egg rebirth, and the egg rebirth is successful after 20 minutes. The light transmission test is carried out again by the observer, and the egg white and yolk are clearly visible and broken on the spot. One shell confirms that the eggs are reborn in a liquid state and the rebirth is successful.” Regarding the incubation stage, the paper mentioned that the regenerated eggs are currently being sent back to the chicken farm for incubation experiments, waiting for the results.
Since then, the Zhengzhou Chunlin School Laboratory and the “Yuanzhiyuan” Family Farm in Guodian, Xinzheng City have published an experimental report titled “Boiled Eggs and Eggs Returned to Incubate Chicks” in the 11th issue of “Photo Geography” in March 2021. Incubation stage)" article, the paper stated that the experiment of rebirth of boiled eggs has been successful.
In order to study whether the reborn eggs have vitality, Mr. Guo Ping from Zhengzhou Chunlin School, Mr. Guo Tai'an from Guodian Chicken Farm and other enthusiasts paid close attention to the incubation process.
In the end, new chicks were successfully hatched, suggesting that the eggs after the rebirth of the boiled eggs also have vitality.
"Boiled eggs return to life to hatch chickens" absurd essay citations
An absurd paper such as "Boiled Eggs Reborn and Hatched Chickens" has also sparked a heated discussion on the Internet.
CCTV published a paper titled "Boiled Eggs Return to Life and Hatching Chickens. Whose IQ is insulted by the wonderful paper?"
"The commentary stated: Some people who are not doing their jobs properly put on the scientific cloak of "quantum mechanics" and "psychological consciousness", grafting them into traditional deceit, making up and talking nonsense, which not only pollutes the academic environment, but also encourages opportunism. , It is also easy to mislead the children, which can be described as infinite harm.
Relevant journals must adhere to the academic bottom line, uphold the basic principles of science, authority, and rigor, resolutely say "no" to various academic misconducts, strictly control the quality of papers, and be responsible for readers and society. Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be smashed. Own signboard.
Xinhuanet published the title "Pseudoscience, Real Liar!"
"The commentary said that such a magical plot appeared in a journal paper, which is really ruining the three views.
Zhengzhou Chunlin Vocational Training School's official website blatantly introduces courses-"whole brain development" and "super-sensing mental image ability". Is it to unlock the potential of the brain or to cheat money through some concept?
Relevant departments should strengthen supervision and must not allow such "pseudo-science" to poison vocational education.
The official Weibo of the Communist Youth League Central Committee commented: "One dare to write, the other dare to post."
The official Weibo of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also reposted screenshots of related reports, with a simple word-"He".
In addition, some netizens commented that “IQ was insulted”, “The Zhengzhou Chunlin Night Training Branch of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry”, “This is really ruinous”, “Is this a cooked duck flying? "As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."
More netizens said, "It's so ridiculous that the TV series dare not edit it like this."
In fact, those of us with a little common sense know that it is impossible for a boiled egg to regenerate and hatch a chick.
But it is such an absurd thing that is indeed presented before our eyes in the form of academic papers.
Although this thing is very absurd, just like the comment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the connotation of the word "he" is not worth refuting at all.
But we still have to answer this question in a scientific spirit.
Next, is the second question of our time and space observation, does "boiled eggs return to hatching chicks" really exist, or is it pseudoscience?
Let's listen to the opinions of experts.
How do absurd papers appear in academic journals?
We have noticed that the two papers on "Boiled Eggs Returning to Hatching Chickens" were published in the magazine "Photo Geography".
We also learned through inquiries that the magazine "Photo Geography" is organized by Jilin Province Press and Publication Bureau and hosted by Jilin Province Yulin Newspaper Development Co., Ltd. It is a national formal academic journal of comprehensive geography. The content involves: urban planning , Land resources, human geography, garden landscape, etc.
We know that publishing an academic paper is not a simple matter. It often requires a relatively long process, such as: data collection and processing, paper writing and submission, editing, review, proofreading, and so on.
It can be said that from writing to final publication of an academic paper, every link has strict requirements.
As a national regular journal, "Photographic Geography" should strictly check every paper. Such "absurd" papers should not pass the normal review. Next is our third question, then this "Boiled Eggs Return" How did the absurd essay of "Hatch a Chick" get on the right track in academic journals?
The reporter in front of us has been contacting the organizer of "Photo Geography", Jilin Yulin Newspaper Development Company.
But as of the festival, no response has been received.
Just today, the Jilin Provincial Press and Publication Bureau has suspended the publication of "Photographic Geography" in accordance with relevant publication management regulations, and ordered it to conduct self-examination and self-correction, and thoroughly investigate its own problems.
At present, the Jilin Provincial Press and Publication Bureau has established a special working group stationed in the magazine publishing unit to conduct interviews and verifications with the main responsible person and related responsible persons, and read sample journals and related materials to verify the relevant situation.
The author Guo Ping has multiple identities as "entrepreneur" and "scholar"
The other protagonist of this incident, the first author of the paper "Boiled Eggs Rebirth and Hatching Chickens", the principal of Zhengzhou Chunlin Vocational Training School, and the host of the "Egg Rebirth Experiment" special research project, Guo Ping .
According to the official WeChat account of Chunlin Education, Guo Ping is the principal of the school and possesses multiple identities as "entrepreneur" and "scholar".
Searching for "Zhengzhou Chunlin Vocational Training School", the information on the website of the same name shows that the school was established in 2009 with the approval of the Zhengzhou Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau.
The school is mainly engaged in projects such as national vocational qualification certification training.
Its official website also displayed many training activities, the themes are "Children’s brains have unlimited potential, cultivate children’s creativity", "Whole brain development, your child can also become a computer genius", etc. Judging from the activity pictures, most of the participants are in the middle. Elementary school students.
At present, the website of the same name of "Zhengzhou Chunlin Vocational Training School" is no longer accessible.
However, we have noticed that in the courses of the training institution, it is possible to teach "not forgetting", "thought-shifting (earth escape, fire escape, water escape, wind escape, wood escape, rock escape, etc.), imaginary broken objects, "Mung bean sprout, leaf restoration and other mental power courses" are comparable to the "magic school" in Harry Potter.
Next, is our fourth question. What kind of school is this?
Today, according to the news from the Propaganda Department of the Zhengzhou Municipal Committee of Henan Province, a joint working group has been established in the local area with the participation of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the Market Supervision Bureau, the Public Security Bureau and other departments and territories to conduct a comprehensive review of the Zhengzhou Chunlin Vocational Training School involved. survey.
If problems are found, they will be dealt with seriously in accordance with laws and regulations.
Our reporter was also in the joint working group today and interviewed Guo Ping, the principal of Zhengzhou Chunlin Vocational Training School. Guo Ping said in the interview that her thesis described only a phenomenon.
The thesis is not completed by myself, but on the premise that the friend witnessed the experiment, and finally completed by the friend's ghostwriting.
The author Guo Ping apologizes to the public
According to the latest news from our front reporter, Guo Ping, the principal of Chunlin Vocational Training School, has apologized to the public for the thesis incident. Guo Ping said that she felt very guilty about the development of the matter up to now, and she felt that the experiment was not rigorous enough to publish it publicly. From the bottom of my heart, I feel very sorry for everyone, which caused trouble to the public. "Boiled eggs hatch chicks"? The eggs don't believe it, the chicken doesn't believe it. But apparently some people believed it. This is of course absurd, but "egg rebirth" is only one of the "absurdities" in this nest. Such absurd papers are published, such absurd courses are opened, such absurd advertisements are posted, and such absurd training is earned. This is not just the absurdity of Principal Guo alone. If more people make money by selling "absurdity", will such absurdity be taken as common sense by more people in the future? This nest of "absurdity" must not let it hatch.
