8. Anda menerima email yang mengklaim "Orang yang tidur
dengan buku di bawah bantal mereka mendapatkan nilai yang lebih
baik melalui osmosis."
Osmosis adalah proses ilmiah. Beberapa molekul melewati lapisan
semi-permeabel sementara molekul yang lebih besar terhalang. Ini
digunakan untuk mendapatkan air murni dari air asin. Ini juga
digunakan untuk proses lain.
Berdasarkan klaim ini, haruskah Anda tidur dengan buku-buku Anda
untuk mendapatkan nilai yang lebih baik?
E. Ya, jika Anda menggunakan bantal semi-permeabel.
F. Ya, karena osmosis adalah proses ilmiah yang diketahui.
G. Tidak, karena buku di bawah bantal mengganggu tidur.
H. Tidak, karena osmosis tidak berhubungan dengan kadar.
