The sun revolves around the Earth? Apparently in Russia it really does!
One third of the population rejects the idea of a system of planets revolving around the Sun, and it's 4% more (what happened?!) than in 2007, when a similar study was done by the Russian Research Center of Public Opinion.
The survey highlighted the scientific superstitions of the Russians and a few days later the President Dmitri Medvedev had supported the investments in space programs to explore the moon and distant points of the universe. (Yesss, finally!!)
The survey also reveals that 55% Russians believe that radioactivity is a human invention (wow!), while 29% say that humans actually coexisted with dinosaurs. (this one beats all the records!)
The numbers also indicate that women are more likely to believe in superstitions than men. (personal message to my Brazilian husband: I TOLD U that my paranoia was cultural!!)
The research took place in January 2011 and involved 1,600 people from the different regions of Russia. (that's a lot of people I tell ya!)
