What's with crop circles?

Since17th century, the debate about the origin of crop circles has been endless. Recently, the media reported that crop circles have reappeared in Russia, which is the latest discovery among the 250 crop circles that appear every year in the world and has once again attracted attention. Some people say it's caused by supernatural forces, others say it's ghost extrasensory activities, even alien spacecraft. Scientists have confirmed that 80% of crop circles are man-made, and this crop circle in Russia is accused of being the result of electromagnetic fields. Are these beautiful patterns artificial or "made in heaven"? The expert uncovered the secret.

There are five theories about man-made or natural phenomena.

The first report on crop circles can be traced back to 1647 in Britain. Since then, crop circles have been frequently found in the United States, Australia, Europe, South America, Asia and other places, most of which are in Britain. So far, there are about 250 crop circles around the world every year, and the patterns are different. Regrettably, for more than 350 years, there has been a controversy in the scientific community about how the strange circle was formed. At present, there are five main theories about the reasons.

The first is the magnetic field theory. Some experts believe that there is a magical moving force in the magnetic field, which can generate current and make crops lie flat on the ground. Jeffrey Wilson, an American expert, has studied more than 30 crop circles in/kloc-0, and found that 90% of crop circles are surrounded by transformers connected by high-voltage lines, and there is a pool within 270 meters of Fiona Fang. Due to irrigation, the ions released from the soil at the bottom of the wheat field will generate negative electricity, and the transformer connected to the high-voltage line will generate positive electricity. The collision between negative electricity and positive electricity will produce electromagnetic energy, which will knock down wheat and form a strange circle.

The second is the tornado theory. According to relevant records, crop circles appear most frequently in spring and summer. Some people think that the weather in summer is changeable and tornadoes are the main cause of crop circles. There are many crop circles on the hillside or six or seven kilometers away from the mountain, which are easy to form tornadoes.

The third is the theory of alien manufacturing. Many people think that crop circles are mostly formed overnight, which is probably the masterpiece of aliens.

The fourth is heresy. Some people think that there is a mysterious force behind crop circles, just like the Bermuda Triangle. It is speculated that some people call crop circles "disaster prediction" to spread heresy.

The fifth and more common statement is the artificial theory. Quite a few people think that the so-called crop circles are just some people's pranks. After 17 years of investigation, British scientist Andrew believes that 80% of crop circles are man-made.

Crop circles have five characteristics: man-made cities by the sea.

However, the high percentage of data did not resist people's curiosity about the mysterious circle. The reporter found in the online forum that even though scientists have confirmed that most beautiful patterns are artificial, there are still posters who prefer to believe that the strange circle originated from some kind of extraterrestrial civilization. Why can't scientists convince people? What makes it more difficult to crack the strange circle? Professor Guo Zhengyi, a researcher at China Institute of Popular Science, told the reporter that most crop circles appear in barley and wheat fields, and all crop circles have at least four characteristics, which creates suspense for cracking crop circles.

Another important feature is that according to the researchers, thousands of circles formed around the world have never been seen on the spot.

Crop circles frequently make the front page news, and it is these characteristics that make crop circles a seaside city. If it is man-made, how to explain these phenomena? The number 6 is the man-made detail of crop circles told by leading experts.

Professor Guo has been paying attention to the research progress of crop circles abroad. He thinks crop circles are masterpieces made by some artists under the cover of darkness. The shapes these people usually choose to make are not the result of the latest computer drawing software, but the designs they like and drafted earlier in the day.

The secret tools of these artists are not complicated instruments as expected, but simple ropes, boards and rulers used by surveyors. The helicopter infrared camera once photographed the production process of crop circles, and Professor Guo described the process to reporters.

"The manufacturer entered the wheat field with tools. Do you remember the first feature of crop circles? (No physical evidence), that's not an absolute fact. If you look carefully, you will find footprints. Usually, the underground is very hard. If you follow the track, you will leave a few footprints. The manufacturer will say that it is caused by the follow-up tourists and can always justify it.

The road to the wheat field is a path among the crops. These paths are field paths used by farmers to transport, fertilize and harvest. When the manufacturer reaches the predetermined position in the wheat field, one of them stands at the center point, and the other begins to draw the first circle, without nailing any marks on the ground, because there will be no traces left.

When the first lap is completed, a pile of wheat will not be flattened, but will be regarded as the central point, and all subsequent measurements will be based on this position. Afraid of being heard, they contacted by secret code. At this point, manufacturers began to flatten crops with homemade boards and make curved patterns.

Wood boards vary in size, and each board has holes at both ends for the rope to pass through. Each team member pulled the rope and ran forward, where the wheat was flattened and the shape of the wheat field changed quietly with the design shape.

The size of this board creates a complicated weaving pattern. However, are all crop circles made according to geometric principles? (secret geometry)

Professor Guo said that those artists admit that they are not interested in making simple geometric patterns, and the key is Fram lines. 6 is an important number in geometry. In the exploration, it is not difficult to find a detail. The diameter of all circles in the main shape can be divided by 6. This algorithm proves why crop circles always form symmetrical patterns.

Crop circles are a performance art, and the magnetic field theory is not credible.

Incredibly, why do these people create crop circles?

Professor Guo said: "For many years, those strange circle makers have been interested in extrasensory perception, and they have cooperated in a wide range of projects, including art and photography. They gradually changed from traditional artists to hidden artists and collaborated to create crop circles, because they believed that the beauty of crop circles was a performance art.

Because strange patterns often appear near their hometown, but there is no reasonable explanation for how to make them, they finally decided to see if manpower can do it. Not disappointed, they finished the design in a few hours, making sure that no criminal evidence was left.

As for the recent magnetic field theory, Professor Guo thinks it is not credible. "If it is not proved that crop circles are false, it does not mean that the magnetic field theory is established. There won't be enough magnetic energy to produce crop circles that big, and at the same time, the magnetic field can't make crop circles form geometric patterns regularly. Crop circles are the result of mysterious speculation and the pursuit of miracles. "
