You’ve got to wonder about the sanity of some of the 3000 surveyed people who believed that lightsabres actually exist – and that memory erasers, in the style of the Men In Black neuraliser, are being used.
One-fifth of the people polled at the National Science and Engineering Week in Birmingham believe lightsabres are real, with a quarter of them also believing in teleportation. Half of the people believe in the Men In Black memory erasers, and a further 40 per cent of the people took Back to the Future II too seriously, by believing hoverboards exist in our day and age.
Hilariously, 18 per cent of the people who took part in the survey believe that you can actually see gravity. [Birmingham Science City via AOL via Neatorama]
