Sometimes the world behaves very strangely, which becomes the reason for the emergence of many theories in various fields of science. The most interesting theories capture the minds of scientists and researchers, allow the scientific community to develop their ideas and assumptions, discover something radically new. There are theories in physics and psychology, but they are all equally interesting for curious people. All kinds of conspiracy theories deserve special attention, suggesting that some kind of top-secret government rules the world, the purpose of which is to mislead ordinary people, total control and even enslavement of neighboring planets (but this is in the future, of course).
The technique of "getting a chance for something"
An interesting theory in psychology allows you to manipulate a person’s creation so that he does something important and complex, first agreeing to an innocent request. The process itself consists of three stages: small, medium and large, you need to go between them in sequence, without missing steps. Such a formulation of the question makes the last request not so difficult to fulfill. The psychological technique "pays off", although you have to stretch everything for a week or two.
The Dark Triad in Psychology
Psychologists call the dark triad a combination of narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism in one person. The latter is actually a term from political science, denoting a policy based on brute force and neglect of generally established moral standards. Usually people who suffer from such deviations bring others a lot of suffering and trouble. True, during the research it was revealed that they are moving faster and more successfully up the career ladder, more productive, efficient and persistent, in many ways surpassing their conscientious colleagues. The theory is quite contradictory, but nevertheless, scientists have already found confirmation of their guesses.
Professional calling
People who think of work as their vocation receive more pleasure from the process, achieve better results and earn more colleagues. Such workers feel more motivated and satisfied. If a positive feeling coincides with experience, then a person feels more control over his own career, can connect work with a greater goal in life than just making money for a normal existence.
Fear of a state of happiness
Another interesting theory in psychology suggests that some people have a real fear of happiness that does not allow them to simply enjoy life. A person considers the achievement of happiness the meaning of life, but in reality is afraid of it. This is similar to a fear of success when an employee does everything to fail tasks, fearing greater responsibility. In many cultures, worldly happiness is associated with sin, so that a person who has reached such a state still feels miserable. Everyone wants to have material wealth, to have a loving family and good work, but at the same time, the person who has achieved this starts to feel very awkward against the background of the rest of society. The fact that people rarely believe that everything can be earned by honest labor, and not stolen or inherited, does not improve the situation.
The Big Bang Theory
This is an interesting physical theory that everyone should be familiar with. Indeed, many hypotheses and judgments are built on it. Based on studies conducted by Einstein, Hubble and Lemeter, it was possible to introduce into the scientific community such an interesting theory that explains the emergence of the Universe. It is believed that it formed 14 billion years ago as a result of the huge force of the explosion. At one point, it was all enclosed at one point, but then began to expand. This expansion continues to this day.
The Big Bang theory gained widespread support in academia after the discovery of the cosmic microwave background in 1965. Astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson have discovered cosmic noise that does not dissipate over time. In collaboration with another scientist, they confirmed the theory that the initial Big Bang left behind radiation that can be found throughout the universe.
Dark matter killed dinosaurs
And now another interesting scientific theory. Scientists were not disturbed by the fact that dinosaurs became extinct almost simultaneously on a vast territory. The most likely culprit of the death of these creatures is considered to be volcanic activity or an asteroid, but the discussion of theories does not stop. For example, physicist Lisa Randall believes that dark matter is to blame for the death of dinosaurs.
True, this interesting theory in physics and biology goes back to the eighties when David Raup and Jack Sepkoski, engaged in paleontology, found evidence that approximately every 26 million years there were massive extinctions of animals and in general 96% of all life on Earth. Further research confirmed that every 30 million years there were global disasters that destroyed most of all living things.
But scientists are not sure of the reasons why the cataclysms occurred precisely on such a schedule. The theory of Lisa Rendall is that we are talking about dark matter. It is believed that matter is scattered throughout the Universe and is used as the basis on which galaxies are built. From time to time, the solar system collides with a disk of dark matter, which can cause some objects to collide with the Earth.
The universe has no beginning
The main theory at the moment of the beginning of the Universe is that almost 14 million years ago, the explosion gave rise to the Universe and since then its constant expansion has been going on. The Big Bang first appeared as a theory in 1927, but the problem is that there are some inconsistencies in Einstein’s assumptions. Another problem is that the quantum mechanics prevailing in modern physics are in no way consistent with the general theory of relativity. At the same time, neither the theory of relativity nor quantum physics takes into account dark matter. Therefore, the Big Bang theory may be wrong.
Theories of personality formation
Psychology considers several interesting theories of personality. There is a biological approach that assumes that a person is determined at the genetic level. Separate studies confirm that the relationship between personal qualities and heredity exists. Behavioral theories determine that personality is the result of the interaction of the environment and the person himself. Psychodynamic theories were formed under the influence of the works of Sigmund Freud, they emphasize the influence on the formation of personality of children's experiences and the unconscious.
Interesting personality theories are humanistic, which emphasize the importance of free will and individual experience. One of the largest approaches in psychology is the theory of personality traits, according to which, a person is a relatively stable set of individual qualities, the combination of which makes a certain person behave in a specific way.
Interesting conspiracy theories
Many believe that the authorities are hiding the real truth from the people, that, for example, Masons are behind all this. This has led to many conspiracy theories. The following are briefly presented the most interesting of them.
At the height of the space race, the Soviet Union was presented with claims that Yuri Gagarin was not the first man in space, but there was still a mysterious astronaut who was slowly dying in low Earth orbit. Two brothers from Italy created an intercepting station to listen to ground bases and space ships of the USSR and the USA. A few weeks before Gagarin’s successful flight, they claimed to have recorded radio signals from an unknown astronaut who died in orbit. Proponents of this theory argue that the Soviet government intentionally hid the death of the astronaut in order to maintain the reputation of the USSR.
The core of the most interesting conspiracy theories are secret governments. The Illuminati is a secret organization that has access to all the secrets of the world. The goals of these people are vast: from innocent world domination to the colonization of neighboring planets. According to the testimony of many supporters of the theory, the Illuminati are descendants of aliens or reptilian civilizations, and currently stand at the head of most countries in the world.
In the middle of the last century, Samuel Shelton founded a society whose members adhered to the theory of a flat Earth. The head of the community argued that scientific evidence has no basis. When Shelton was shown photographs of the Earth made from space, he said it was a fake. After Shelton's death, leadership passed to Charles Johnson, who led the company until his death in 2001. This group later fell apart.
One of the most popular and interesting conspiracy theories is that Americans did not actually land on the moon. Allegedly they lacked the technology to transport the astronaut to the moon and back, so NASA made a fake “landing” in one of the Hollywood studios. The theory is supported by the fact that there is no atmosphere on the moon, and the American flag flutters in the wind, in addition, the costumes of the astronauts and the surface of the moon strongly reflected the light, so the camera caught them primarily, not the faint light of the stars.
Theories of human origin
Officially, there are only two theories of the origin of life: religious (God created people) and scientific (man is the result of evolution, descended from a monkey). But there are other interesting theories of the origin of man. Many scholars believe that people of the modern type first appeared in Africa, and Chinese studies are trying to prove that the first people appeared on the territory of their country. There are theories of the origin of modern man from the "floating monkey", reptiles and even aliens.
Mathematical theory of games
Many interesting economic theories are based on the mathematical theory of games. This is a section of mathematical economics that examines the optimality of strategies and resolving conflicts between players. The conflict may relate to completely different areas of human activity: psychology, medicine, economics, political science, sociology, cybernetics, military affairs. Each player has a number of strategies that he can apply, when crossing the strategies a certain situation arises, and each player receives a positive or negative result.
