The octopus Paul is dead it predict to one's own death?
A lot of years later, as future people review 2010 South Africa World Cup, will forget one name small 8 claw mollusk of Paul in the intersection of small city and bold full of trees aquarium, uncle of, west of Germany.
Before World Cup, it is even only " L The octopus " R ,it name at all important. But after World Cup, it has already been " L The intersection of Paul and the Supreme Being " , " The annual supernatural beast " R Sum " L The animal prophet " ,It predicts World Cup 8 A match combines 100% The correct one " L Miraculous foresight son " ,It is a global superstar.
Guess what ball ask to have one light yuans of meat take
If according to the official statement of the aquarium, the seashore Weymouth of small town that the octopus Paul would born from Britain in 2008, send to into bold city aquarium full of trees, uncle of, invite 3 months old, become the only octopus on the hall.
In most years in Paul's life, it swims from morning till night, in the Shui nationality case not big, front is only the visitors in two or three square meters of paths with very few sum. Perhaps Paul is still a bit lonely - -Because it has been single all the time, called by Effie society " L The low-key hero who has the sexual life of all one's life " . These depend on the intersection of octopus and unique the intersection of reproduction and way, they there is a chance to mate and egg-producing in all one's life, later the hero female both sides will die within about one week.
The method that Paul predicts is interesting too . After staff members put two food boxes printed with different national flags into the Shui nationality case, Paul or hesitating to wander up and down, or self-confident and full, but always embrace a box among them, and raise the food of box cover and fetch shellfish's meat with the wrist foot. The national flag which it chose, exactly represent it thinks the national football team that will win.
Uncle bold aquarium director Ana full of trees Portman admits frankly when being interviewed by media " L Paul guesses the ball " R It is a marketing popularization activity for it intentionally. But no matter which kind of purpose aquarium start from, Paul guess what ball ask have one light yuans of meat take just each time.
Why is its prediction so supernatural and accurate?
World Cup 1/256 in eight probability that match guess right continuously, or 0.39%, doses of Hal, skin of Sri Lankan, Professor of Cambridge University, specially express, Paul's prediction gets accurately inconceivably, even destroyed his research achievement of a lifetime.
The person who held scientific knowledge has made a speech . " L Scientific brother " Except tell by we the octopuses every one what clever living beingses -- It has 3 hearts, 2 memory systems, there are 5 hundred million neurons in the brain - -It explains the question that the color of more multi-purpose national flag comes . They think, it is exactly the food color that the octopus likes being eaten that the color of the German national flag is red and yellow and black, " Hide in two prawns under darkness clearly" ,And the national flag in Serbia " L There is a red shrimp, there is a red crab " ,More attractive.
But this kind of statement has caused dispute immediately . Dr. Janet Voit of the natural History Museum, Philid of Chicago, points out, evidence does not reveal the octopus has colored vision, so the color has a partiality for influence not big on Paul's choice.
A marine biology doctor of marine university of China tells reporters, the thing that Paul makes a prediction don't attempt to explain with biological reason. " However, can't explain with biological knowledge that does not represent it has no reason, environment, food, smell,etc. are probably real reason, perhaps knowledge studied by criminal investigation which we need. " He says to reporters.
The octopus Paul having lofty ideals upgrades to the idols of the whole people . But to this numerous and disorderly world, has Paul really understood? Has it predicted to one's own death?
