I Just Heard A Teacher Tell Students There's Magnet In Trains by Freethought(m): 10:13am On Sep 25, 2019 |
I was going through classes this morning and i heard a teacher telling her students that there's magnet in trains that hold people when they walk on the railway when the train is coming. She went on to explain that if the train is comin from a long distance and someone is on that track, that person will not be able to move and the train will crush and kill the person. I actually thought this to be a myth or am i wrong? |

It's a myth. She's probably trying to scare them from playing along the rail tracks, if not she is dangerously ignorant. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Eeyah. Perhaps that was one of the myths handed down to the teacher by area uncles from his village. Everyone has such ideas from childhood, with some downright stupid and unscientific. It would take your own critical reasoning to burst them |

MASTERCHIEF0847: I'll go with the latter bro.. She didn't seem to be scaring those kids and besides, those kids are in SSS2 |

Freethought: Fair enough, but scientifically that theory of hers won't stand. |

She was wrong albeit right in a little way. It's a panic syndrome induced by sound which makes the brain lose its thinking capacity for a moment and only few that are prepared manage to get over it. 2 Likes |

I guess it's a myth I was told same...so whenever I see a train coming I no dey go near the rail. I thought so too,until I saw someone go against it,there ain't no magnet. |

That teacher is the next big thing in physics... Einstein got nothing on her. Surprised that she hasn't discovered that same magnet in cars and trucks. How come? Such scientific genius. 3 Likes |

I was told the same story in 1985 when I went to spend holiday with my grandma in Ibadan and her house is close to a railway. |
