After showing which cartoon, about 700 children ended up in hospitals?

On December 16, 1997, episode 38 of the Pokémon animated series was shown on Japanese television, in which there were shots of a particularly intense and bright Pikachu attack of alternating red and blue flashes. In many children, this provoked a painful reaction resembling an epileptic seizure - in total, about 700 people were hospitalized. Many more children reported being unwell, but doctors believe that their symptoms were not caused by the transmission itself, but by mass hysteria around it. Even among the hospitalized, there were many who pretended to be sick in order not to go to school.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How are fossils formed?

Fossils are the remains of animals and plants preserved in stone. Sometimes they look like shells, bones, scales or other hard parts of the animal body. Sometimes the animals are preserved whole. In the case of plants, these may be charred pieces of wood or a thin carbon film left after decomposition. Often come across and paw prints of animals on soft clay, subsequently hardened and turned into stone. When a living organism dies, its body does not completely disappear. The soft parts rot, while the hard parts are ravaged by wind and precipitation.

However, if the body is covered with sand or silt after death, parts of it may be preserved for a long time and after a long period of time turn into fossils. Most of the fossils belong to animals and plants that lived in the water. This is because, after death, their body sinks to the bottom, where it is quickly covered with a layer of sand applied by water. Gradually, the remains of the organism are buried deeper and deeper under sand and silt, the lower layers of which harden under increasing pressure, turning into so-called sedimentary rocks.

Sedimentary rocks accumulate very slowly, and the bodies of plants and animals buried in them undergo constant changes. The mineral salts in the water fill the tiny pores in the bones and around the shells.

After the shells themselves are destroyed, their prints remain on the stone. This process has been going on for thousands of years. On land, the dead bodies of living organisms can be under a layer of wind-blown sand or ash ejected from a volcano during an eruption. Insects and other small animals sometimes get stuck in the sticky resin. When solidified, the resin turns into amber and protects the corpse from destruction. Larger animals can be kept in swimming pools or in permafrost conditions.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Europe is warming faster than other continents 23.04.2024

Европа сталкивается с резкими изменениями климата, и последствия этого проявляются все сильнее и сильнее. Данные двух ведущих организаций по мониторингу климата свидетельствуют о том, что континент нагревается значительно быстрее, чем средний уровень на планете.

По результатам общего доклада Всемирной метеорологической организации ООН и климатического агентства ЕС Copernicus о климатическом состоянии в Европе за прошлый год стало ясно, что континент испытывает рост температуры вдвое выше среднего уровня планеты.

Увеличение средней температуры на 2,3 градуса по Цельсию выше доиндустриального уровня ставит Европу в сложное положение. Этот рост температуры на 1,3 градуса по Цельсию выше среднего уровня по всему миру, и это уже не просто статистика, а факт, который оказывает серьезное влияние на жизнь людей.

Смертность, связанная с жарой, увеличивается на всем континенте, подчеркивая важность адаптации к новым климатическим условиям. Страшные последствия экстремальных погодных условий, таких как штормы, наводнения и лесные пожары, становятся все более заметными и требуют дополнительных усилий по предотвращению их разрушительного воздействия.

Однако, несмотря на все вызовы, существует возможность для Европы разработать стратегии, направленные на ускорение перехода к использованию возобновляемых источников энергии. Успешные меры в области возобновляемой энергетики уже показывают свою эффективность, и дальнейшее развитие в этом направлении может помочь смягчить негативные последствия изменения климата.

Европа сталкивается с реальными вызовами в связи с изменением климата, и важно принимать эффективные меры для смягчения его негативных последствий. Несмотря на сложности, возможность перехода к использованию возобновляемых источников энергии предоставляет континенту шанс двигаться вперед и строить более устойчивое будущее.
