The Brits are a garland of trusting idiots, according to a consult by Birmingham Science City. The quiz, that was launched at the beginning of National Science and Engineering Week on Mar 11th, gave people a list comprised of scholarship novella and scholarship fact, and asked them either these things were loyal or false.
The results are flattering hilarious. For instance, over 40% think that hoverboards similar to Marty McFly's exist, 24% think that humans can obtain around by teleportation, and over 20% think in Lightsabers.
To be fair, the questions in the consult appear intentionally selected to confuse. The sci-fi tech is all so ordinarily well known to appear plausible, whilst the actual, loyal scholarship all sounds really outlandish - a e.g. from loyal list is "Can stars sing?"
What this partial consult really shows is that sci-fi gadgets and actual life tech are not as far detached as many people think, something us nerds all noticed that every time nonetheless other Star Trek technology is detected to be true.
Being English, we took the assessment myself, and scored 100%. It was flattering easy - we only checked "yes" for anything that seemed silly and "no" for anything plausible. Oh, and the Birmingham Science City people shouldn't be as well smug: they spelled TARDIS in descend case, when any geek knows that it's an acronym (or abbreviation, or initialism, lest we obtain complaints).
