not expected to cause the next "2012 end of the world that" popular
Zhejiang Online - Qianjiang Evening News
Yesterday, one on "bringing strong volcanic acid rain" in a major forum for reprint seize key location: "From today to 28 days, please do not the rain. 750 once the rain was pouring into skin cancer after high probability. because the European outbreak of a volcano, the eruption of a large number of sulfide at high altitude, high altitude in the atmosphere 7000-10000 meters of ash formed a thick layer of strong acid. "
Ningbo boy Little Paint purists holding PH test strip on the streets, more users, there is no doubt that the reprint is true, they begin by micro-Bo, MSN, SMS, mass replication frequently transmitted.
In fact, with a number of disasters, extreme weather and the occurrence of events one after another, since Recently, various specious rumors are Fangjian wantonly spread: "2012 is the end of the world," "oil prices for a plane stressed out" ... ... the kinds of rumors like the wind, spread from the network to the real world, communication.
Wise rumors stop.
5 pm yesterday, a lot of Hangzhou, the provincial people's cell phone received Meteorological Bureau issued a "Tips": According to the latest monitoring shows that the Icelandic volcanic ash has little impact on the future of our province. Reporter also specifically invite the meteorological and environmental protection experts, this is explained.
Perhaps, from the last century or more have long been popular in the "doomsday predictions" repeatedly frustrated the fact, can prove this truth: The wind spread the rumors, never hold water.
Iceland's volcanic ash will not be migrating to Zhejiang? The so-called "750 a" strong acid rain is not true? We ask the weather experts and EPA staff.
"Jokes are friends. Iceland from Zhejiang far more spread more thin volcanic ash, including by air circulation, such as along the rain washed, the present situation will not impact on Zhejiang." Expert Zhou Yiping Meteorological Service said they would strengthen monitoring and timely attention to the dynamic volcanic ash, we need not be alarmed.
Jiao Mei Yan, deputy director of China Meteorological Administration said, do not rule out the ash into the atmosphere after the air as the transmission of high-rise will come to Asia, but with the diffusion, the concentration will become smaller and smaller. Now look at the monitoring satellite images from the real to the concentration will be very small piece of the Asian region in general will not have much impact on us.
A more convincing data from Hangzhou Environmental Monitoring Center. Gilbert, Deputy Director of Technology in an interview, said: from air quality monitoring data to analyze, in recent days, the level of acid rain in Hangzhou, did not demonstrate abnormal fluctuations. To April 20, for example, monitoring the PH value of 5.8, Hangzhou precipitation, acid rain does not meet the standard (acid rain is defined as: The presence of acidic gases in the atmosphere pollution, PH acidity of precipitation is less than 5.65 is called acid rain).
"Acid rain caused by sulfur dioxide is the most common acid gas, coal-fired power plants, motor vehicle exhaust will produce sulfur dioxide, volcanic eruptions, sometimes emit the gas. In recent years, Hangzhou, acid rain situation has improved, under normal circumstances, no will appear one day of rain worsen. acid rain caused by volcanic eruption in Iceland there is only a theoretical possibility, 'as strong as sulfuric acid poured down' non-existent possibility. "
Unpredictable future, it is a rumor prevailing soil
"2012" predicted end of the world, bringing strong volcanic acid rain, oil prices rise indicates a plane crash ... ... This move should be laughed at for entertainment, gave a lot of people have brought trouble, and quickly spread.
This process in the end what happened?
Wang Wenbin, senior film of "2012" and "prophecy" dismissive. "But that is a disaster film, and the first two years of domestic Reying the" acquired "," tornado "almost."
"People like to watch a disaster film. The producers will be producing, script writing will be looking for from a variety of legendary stories of the trail, so" 2012 "was born, as simple as that."
In the United States, various years have taken a lot of different types of disaster film. Some people think that the cultural tradition of the United States, the United States end of the world religious traditions have to say, so eager to end the movie theme.
As for the "2012" success "can only prove that Americans are superb film technology and imagination."
Wang Wenbin argument is: "It and the three films, no essential difference between cops and robbers film. Everyone has the glimpse of desires, because you do not have killed a man, not over the prison, so you would be interested in unknown circumstances, and then to this kind of imagination instead of true. "
Such non-rational plot, Wang, Professor of Sociology at Zhejiang University chapter seems very dangerous for some people.
"Some people" refers to the sense of control over their own destiny is very weak person.
"They have suffered setbacks in the real world, uncertainty about the future of personal enhancement, information on various non-rational to reduce the immunity."
The world has frequently been described as risk society. "Economic, Social and drastic changes have taken place in many of the previous rules, the concept of continually broken." Such an unpredictable environment, just as the "predicted" prevalence provided the best soil.
Journalism Professor Shen patriotic on the rumor "is to believe" is also quite another to explain the meaning.
"Rumors or speculation, the public response to a stress of social life, is their special social situation, a particular expression of opinion and the outpouring of emotional tendencies. The so-called 'Development and Reform Commission of a rising oil price, a to have a disaster 'of the civil claim, in fact, expressed in oil prices and rising public discontent. "
Such a small number of people, "irresistible" non-rational prediction, in the event after the modern Internet, was to spread exponentially, rapidly enlarge. Shen patriotic on this process too familiar.
- All over the world constantly earthquake, drought, floods, tsunamis come and go, with the movie "2012" rendering, on the end of the world's rumors flying, people are due to the external environment for fear of the unknown.
- Changes in the environment, once with a crisis, people often feel bad than good. This judge's error, and fantastic associations, may not assume the incident.
- Fabrication or misrepresentation of the facts, once they meet people's speculation, have become rumors. Meanwhile, people in fear and uncertainty, hope and other narrow spaces, reducing interpersonal distance and some like-minded exchange of information, to lift anxiety, panic and thus catharsis.
- Internet and, ultimately, this "point" communication, provides an effective channel.
Those who fall through the "doomsday predictions"
Doomsday predictions, not the first time. Online there have been concluded so far, at least 30 doomsday prophecies all come true. As the layout of the relationship, we selected three of the failed doomsday predictions:
1806, Leeds, a prophet hen
Hen from a small town of Leeds. In 1806, legendary hen a printed "Christ is coming" eggs. Many people believe the end of the world. Until a man went to the scene to see a hen, you discover that someone orchestrated this fraud.
In 1910, Comet Halley
In 1881, an astronomer analysis showed that the comet tails contain a deadly gas. This gas is called the cyanide, when someone realized that the Earth will be the tail of Halley's comet in 1910 after, they began to panic: if everyone on Earth can be deadly poisonous gas in living?
The forecast was published in the "New York Times" newspaper headlines and led to a huge panic.
January 1, 2000, the millennium crisis
The early 70s of the 20th century, the first time, realized that the millennium bug problem, that many computers can not distinguish between "00" actually represent "1900" or "2000." In the last century approaches its end, many people think, including a large area power outage and a series of disasters, including nuclear holocaust would be terrible because the only insects appear.
