5 POINT

The myth of efforts that the world does not forget.

1. The single "pig" war (The Pig War of 1859):

The American-British conflict on San Juan Island began when an American farmer shot the "pig" of a British company employee who came to eat the crops in the garden. The affair escalated until the two countries sent hundreds of navies and soldiers to face each other for 12 years! Fortunately, no fatal shootings took place, except for that "pig" alone as a victim in this war.

2. The "most dangerous scientists in history":

Thomas Midgley Jr. is an engineer who hopes for a global disaster. He invented "lead oil" and "CFC" in air conditioners, which destroys the ozone layer and causes the whole world to accumulate lead poisoning for decades. The bad joke is that at the end of his life he was strangled to death by a machine, a "lift belt" he invented himself, the end of the man who accidentally hurt the world.

3. The "Moon bomb" plan (Project A119):

During the Cold War, the United States had a daredevil plan to send a nuclear missile to "explode on the moon" to produce visible light from the naked eye, only to show off the threat of the Soviet Union, but this plan was abandoned for fear of radioactive effects and worry that the people of Earth would be overly stingy.

4. Voynich Manuscript:

An ancient book from the 15th century, written in a language that no one in the world knows, and full of paintings of non-existent vegetation on Earth, including bizarre star plans, even the best decipherers in today's world wars or AI, is so "undecipherable" that many believe it may be an "alien record" or "the greatest story."

5. The man who considered himself the "brother Jesus" (Taiping Rebellion):

Hong Xiuquan, a Chinese who repeatedly failed the civil service examination to the point of vision and believed himself to be the "brother of Jesus" sent by God to wash some of the Qing Dynasty. He set up an army and declared the worst civil war in Chinese history, resulting in 20 to 30 million deaths, more than World War I.
