Godzilla: Let the world burn! This is a classic line in the Godzilla movie, which ignited the blood of countless people. As early as 1954, Japan shot the first Godzilla movie. Since then, Godzilla has become a worldwide pop culture symbol. Its mysterious appearance and mighty and majestic spirit have made it one of the monsters. The reputation of the king. What is jaw-dropping is that the water monster that originally only existed in the imagination was discovered by Antarctic expeditioners in 1958 four years later. Although
has a large number of witnesses, it can be said to have caused an uproar at the time, but experts will not easily admit the discovery of new species, and their explanation is also unbelievable. Do monsters really exist? Today we will analyze the Antarctic Godzilla incident.
Antarctic Godzilla sightings
At 17:00 on February 13, 1958, this ship Soya carrying the Japanese Antarctic scientific expedition team has been trapped on the coast of the United States from multiple days of siege The guard icebreaker Burton Island rescued. On the journey home.
Suddenly, a black unknown object appeared 300 meters in front of Zonggu. The crew exclaimed: There is a Godzilla monster ahead. But it was refuted: it was just an abandoned oil barrel on the Burton Island, and everyone laughed. However, the ensuing scene made everyone on the ship unforgettable. They found that the unknown object
was actually moving towards them. The crew on duty quickly checked with the binoculars, but found that it was not an iron barrel but rather A giant monster. The chief hurriedly went to get the camera, but it was too late to record this rare picture in the world. "Godzilla" only appeared for 30 seconds.
According to rumors and witnesses, looks like a large lizard, with only part of its body emerging from the ice, so the size and shape of the whole body cannot be determined, but the whole body is hairless and the back has a longitudinal jagged ridge. The protrusions and fins are like dinosaurs. Captain Matsumoto Muji recorded this incident in his "Antarctic Transport", which is also the only witness record that has been handed down to the world.
However, this book also caused a controversy: when the book was published, there was an illustration called "Godzilla Sketch", and the author had passed away, and his son said that his father told his family about Godzilla's incident. I haven't shown this painting to them. It's not clear whether it was the author himself or the publisher.
Is it a group hallucination?
The founder of group psychology, Gustave Le Pen, said in his book "The Crowd": "Logic tells us that multiple people with consistent confessions are the strongest evidence and can ensure the accuracy of the facts, but Group psychology knowledge tells us that logic needs to be rewritten at this point. The things with the most witnesses must be the most suspicious."
Expert's explanation In popular terms, this is a misunderstanding. When one person in the group puts forward his own point of view, the others may be led and echoed according to inertial thinking. The poor thing is that this group of agreeable people, because they get the majority of approval and firmly believe that their views do not understand what they see is an illusion. Is this all an illusion? The explanation given by the expert is unconvincing.
Witnesses are experienced seafarers. The probability of mistaken existing animals or objects for monsters is very small, but it cannot be ruled out that the South Pole was in summer. Days of white nights in the sea have caused imbalances in sleep and daily routines, multiple pressures such as being trapped on the ice for many days and returning to the winter team members, and the possibility of abnormal feeling and psychological state cannot be ruled out.
And the collective misunderstanding in this case also seems to be a reasonable explanation for this divorce event, But is it true?
"Water Monster" followed
The Antarctic Godzilla incident is not the first time that humans have encountered "Water Monster", the mostThe most famous is the Loch Ness Monster incident in Scotland. Since about 1500 years ago, there have been more than 10,000 sightings about the Loch Ness monster: sightings in 1933 made the Loch Ness monster famous, and the photos taken in 1960 became a strong evidence of its authenticity. In 2007, a British man filmed a video of a monster in Loch Ness, which caused a sensation again. In the video, the whole body is dark, and the 45-foot-long thing swims quickly in the water. At a speed of 6 miles per hour, it is hard to believe that this is a known aquatic organism.
On June 26, foreign media reported a photo of the Loch Ness monster , which once again sparked the discussion of the monster. The picture was taken by a man in September last year, although the creature in the picture was later compared to the 巨鲶鱼 discovered not long ago. But we can see the powerful attraction of the water monster incident to people.
Coincidentally, China also has a mystery about water monsters, and there are many . The famous Kanas Lake monster is located in Kanas Lake, Atel, Xinjiang. It is said to often drag the livestock of local herders into the water. Many experts and scholars have come here to investigate and witnessed its appearance, but unfortunately they did not catch this behemoth.
About 长白山天池水怪 has a longer record history. It is described in the Qing Dynasty "Changbai Mountain Jianggang Zhilue": "From Tianchi, a monster emerged from the water, golden yellow, with a big head like The basin has horns on the square top and many long beards. The hunter thinks it is a dragon. " also has the description of "Relics from the world, as big as a buffalo, roaring loudly and eagerly." In 1976, a tourist was surprised to see a swarthy water monster that looked like a brown bear.
There are countless similar water monster incidents, which makes it hard to believe that this is groundless, but there are a lot of sightings but no real monsters can be caught to confirm.
When will the mystery of the water monster be solved?
The sightings of the water monster are truly a history of the world. The ancients regarded it as a beautiful legend and passed on from generation to generation. Today, people prefer to interpret it as the illusion of light refraction or the surprise of known creatures such as giant seals and eels. But so far no one has been able to completely deny the possibility of the real existence of water monsters, and people's attention to water monsters has never diminished. Is
real or artificial? It is worth mentioning that the economic growth brought about by water monsters should not be underestimated. The water monster has made Loch Ness completely famous. The tourism industry promoted by this lake brings an annual income of 40.7 million pounds. And Godzilla has published 30 movies so far, not to mention cartoons and TV series. As a magical creature, it is the normer of nature. Whenever humans try to rule the world and plunder it at will, they will be fair to nature. The powerful power and heroic spirit given to also make every new film inevitably attract everyone's attention.
If you believe it, you have it, if you don’t believe it, you don’t. This is our unanimous view of ghosts. Actually, we might as well regard the water monster as a remote image. As a terrestrial creature, the awe and curiosity of unknown oceans and lakes are just like the fantasy of the moon of the ancients, chanting "When the jade rabbit went to the moon palace, there is no trace of medicine at night." and other verses miss the beautiful woman.
is just like the dedication to exploring the alien creatures in the vast starry sky, hoping that the lonely code sound in the dark universe can be heard and responded to. Since there is no real evidence to prove their existence, there is also no substantial reason to explain their non-existence, and personal beliefs and unbelief are not tolerated by others. Because life is an accidental miracle, there are still many unknown areas that technology cannot explain.
