近日,2024搞笑诺贝尔奖(Ig Nobel Prize)获奖名单颁布。该奖项设立于1991年,旨在“表彰那些先让人发笑,继而引人深思的成就”。它由搞笑杂志《不可思议的研究年鉴》( Annals of Improbable Research,AIR ...
当地时间9月12日,第34届搞笑诺贝尔奖获奖名单出炉。今年获奖的10项研究依然展示了科学研究的严谨性和趣味性。把鸽子放在导弹内部导航、测试死鳟鱼的游泳能力、南北半球人的头顶头发旋转方向是否相同、哪种假药有效等等。搞笑诺贝尔奖旨在表彰非传统的科学成就。
为此,研究者特地统计了三类儿童的发旋方向:法国巴黎的普通儿童(代表北半球),智利圣地亚哥的普通儿童(代表南半球),和出生在巴黎的37对双胞胎。结果显示,双胞胎的发旋方向都相同,这可能暗示了遗传因素的重要影响。

成立于1991年的搞笑诺贝尔奖是对诺贝尔奖的善意模仿;它们表彰“首先让人们笑,然后让人们思考的成就”。毫不掩饰的营口颁奖典礼包括迷你歌剧、科学演示和24/7讲座,专家们必须两次解释他们的工作:一次在24秒内,另一次在七个单词内。获奖感言限时60秒。正如座右铭所暗示的那样,被表彰的研究乍一看可能显得荒谬,但这并不意味着它没有科学价值。
今天早上,人类第34次迎来了“第一届”搞笑诺贝尔奖。 这一次,颁奖典礼终于回到了室内——美国麻省理工学院(MIT)的一间大教室内。相比往年的奖品,这一届可以说投入了巨大成本:雷打不动的10万亿元津巴布韦币,外加一个透明的塑料盒子,盒子除了在顶部贴有搞笑诺贝尔奖的一张纸外,里面还放置了不少墨菲定律的“历史文物”。 遗憾的是,墨菲定律指出,任何可能出错的事,最终都会出错。那么,根据盒子上的说明,这个盒 ...
