One In Five Brits Think Lightsaber Exists

Posted By Dustin on March 16, 2011

Here's one for ya. According to a recent survey in the UK, 1 in 5 people believe that lightsabers exist. Here's a brief snippet from the story at AOLnews.com.

"The results of a survey that opened National Science and Engineering Week in Britain last week reveal a fine line between science and fiction in the public's eye.

Here's what the survey reveals, according to Birmingham Science City, which created it. Note that in all cases, the respondents incorrectly believe the following:

� More than a fifth of adults believe light sabers exist.
� Almost 25 percent of people believe humans can be teleported.
� Nearly 50 percent of adults believe that memory-erasing technology exists.
� More than 40 percent believe that hover boards exist.
� Almost one-fifth of adults believe they can see gravity."
