Can you believe what the fortune teller said?

You can't trust fortune tellers.

Don't trust fortune telling, fate and luck, but trust science.

Fortune-telling is not credible, at least those who use birth time are not credible. Just look at two examples.

The first example is in Ji Xiaolan's Notes on Yuewei Cottage, where Ji Xiaolan's nephew and the son of a slave were born at the same time. The original text says, "When they were born, they were separated by a wall, two windows were facing each other, and two children were crying". Therefore, they should be born at the same time, with the same arrangement of eight characters, and the information they see should be exactly the same. But one of them died young, one continued to live, one was rich and the other was poor. Their life trajectories hardly overlap. How do you explain this? From the point of view of numerology, six relatives, family background, longevity and fortune pattern should be seen from the eight characters. If you can't even see these, what's the use of the eight characters?

The second example is 1958 London 2000 newborns.

In August 2003, the British "Daily Telegraph" reported that Jeffrey, a Perth scientist and former astrologer in Australia? Psychologists Jeffrey Dean and Ivan from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada? A research achievement of Ivan Kelly.

From March 65438 to March 0958, they recruited more than 2000 newborn babies to participate in the study in London, England. Most of them were born within a few minutes, and only 4% of them were born more than 15 minutes apart. Scientists have listed more than 65,438+000 different characteristics, including occupation, anxiety, marital status, aggression, social skills, IQ, art, sports, mathematics, reading and other abilities. After that, the researchers regularly tested the development of the subjects for half a century. Unfortunately, however, these subjects born at the same time did not show any similarities. Take people born on March 4, 2008 1958+0 1: 05 as an example. There is no obvious difference between his similarity with twins born a few minutes later and his similarity with people born a day later. So don't say I know a fortune teller. Isn't the data of 2000 newborns bigger than your fortune teller? How many fortune tellers have seen 2000 identical constellations in their lives?
