There are some misunderstandings in the implementation of science in
public that need to be corrected truth.

Here there are approximately 10 misconceptions about science that
circulate in the community.

î lue colored water caused not only a reflection of the sky)

Many believe that the lake and the blue sea "Only" because they
reflect the blue sky. Actually, the water looks blue because they are
really blue. Water molecules absorb light, and they absorb red
frequencies more than the frequency of blue, so the frequency of blue
appeared on the surface. Effect was small, so the color blue to be seen
more clearly when observing layers of water or in dense enough. In
salt water or mineral springs, mineral colors of decay can be seen.



Perefleksian color of the sky also provides a role for the blue ocean,
but only when surface water is very calm and only when water was
observed with a small kesudutan around 10 degrees.

îElectrik / electricity does not travel at the speed of light)

Many textbooks claim that the electricity îelectrons) flow through the
cable runs at the speed of light. The fact is, the energy of fast flowing
elektriklah îwhich is still slower than the speed of light). Electrons,
which has mass, can move at the speed of eautiful light by using the
theory of relativity. The speed of the electric charge in electric current
is very slow, around several centimeters per hour. In places where
electric currents can be seen, as in electrophoresis, slow movement of
the carrier can be seen directly.

î
eason deemed to have the same time period)

ecause the earth moves faster in its orbit as it approached the
sun, summer in the southern part of the earth / winter in the northern
part of the earth is the shortest time for the season, with summer in
the north or south of the longest winter. However, the difference is
only felt a few days, while on Mars with an eccentric orbit, the
difference was huge.

îou will not get the flu from the cold only)

Has become a widespread misconception in the public that the
common cold can be caused by cold weather. Reality, the common
cold is caused by a virus and has nothing to do with low temperature
or cold.

Àupiter, Uranus, and Neptune also have rings around them, although
that was in

îMeteors are not hot when it landed on earth)

When a meteor landed on earth, meteors are usually not hot like most
of the meteor in Hollywood movies. Usually, only warm. Meteor
velocity sufficient to melt the outer surface, but the material that melts
quickly separated, and the interior of the meteor did not have time to
heat up because rocks are poor heat conductors.

îThe cloud is not formed due to the influence of air temperature)

Is the wrong knowledge that the clouds are formed from the cold
"hold" less water vapor than warm air. Air does not have the capacity
to contain water vapor. Only the temperature of the water itself îand
vicinity) which causes the humidity, condensation process, and then
the formation of clouds.

îPeople already knew the earth was not flat before Columbus)




ome believe that Christopher Columbus had difficulty in receiving
support because the people of Europe believe that the earth was flat.
In fact, sailors and navigators at that time knew that the earth is
round, but îcorrect knowledge) do not agree with estimates from
Columbus of the distance to India. If America does not exist, and
Columbus went on his journey to India that actually, he will not be
able to survive longer to achieve.

îChina Great Wall not visible from space)

At the time in low orbit, the Great Wall of China can be seen from
outer space but not as unique from the digembor rant. From the low
earth orbit, many artificial objects can be seen on earth, not just the
Great Wall of China. Highways, ships at sea, dams, railways, cities,
rice fields, and several buildings.



As has been claimed that the Great Wall of China is a man-made
objects are visible on the Moon, Apollo astronauts have reported that
they did not see any human-made object from the moon.

îThere is no dark side îwhich is always dark) of the month)

Months in orbit synchronous îsynchronous orbit), this means, the
moon menmbutuhkan exactly the same time to rotate once on its axis
with the rotation of the earth.
o the moon has the far side / rear /
dark / outside, because it always gives the same to the earth's surface
when it rotates. When the moon is estimated to be between
the
un and Earth, it dalah time "lunch" at the far side / outside / back
of the moon and the night for the side facing the earth. When
the Earth between the sun and moon, the part that much experience
when "night" and "lunch time" for the part which faces the earth.
