The history encrusts itself with numerous truths, lies, prophecies and made-ups. Sometimes even a pointless information becomes “Pointed” when passed among masses. The truth appears blunt, then. Misinformation when distributed among people, becomes a myth after a time. Here are some myths, debunked:
Einstein was bad at Mathematics.
He never failed in Mathematics. Before Einstein was fifteen he had mastered differential and integral calculus. In primary school, he was at the top of his class and far above the school requirements in Maths.
Newton discovered gravitation after seeing an apple fall from a tree.
Newton selected apple as an example. He used it typically because apples fall straight to the center of the earth with no deviation and that the attractive power of the earth extends beyond the upper atmosphere. This was a good and easy explanation for the commons to understand.
Walt Disney first drew Mickey Mouse
No, Mickey Mouse was first drawn by the company’s chief animator, Ub Iwerks.
Galileo dropped objects off The Leaning Tower Of Pisa to prove his theory
The experiment Galileo imagined required a tower taller and of different proportions than that at Pisa. There is no evidence in Galileo’s writings to support the happening of such an experiment. It was Vincenzo Viviani, his former student, who first mentioned the story in his writings, 15 years after Galileo’s death. Viviani created the story, perhaps to more dramatically showcase Galileo’s prominence.
Mark Zuckerberg is a Back-stabber
That’s what they depicted in “The Social Network.” He worked hard and invested the greatest amount of time than anyone else in the league, who claimed that Zuck played them. Eduardo Saverin(Co-founded Facebook), sure had clashes about his moves, when he moved out solo, which were settled for the best. That’s how it rolls.
