Common Myths
Common myths are widely held beliefs that are often not based on factual evidence. For example, many people think that goldfish have a memory span of only a few seconds, but research shows they can remember information for months. These misconceptions can arise from cultural stories, misinterpretations, or outdated information.
Another prevalent myth is that humans only use 10% of their brains. In reality, brain imaging studies reveal that we use virtually all parts of our brain, even when we are at rest. Understanding these myths helps clarify misconceptions and promotes a more accurate view of the world.
