论文摘要

一代人传播了一个流行的神话,与瓦伦西亚法利斯的节日有关。在这些日子里,传统上抛出各种烟火设备。关于所谓的醉酒烟花,小火箭的传奇,它们以高速移动。根据民间智慧,如果您试图逃离醉酒的烟火,它将追逐您,直到击中您。它是进行蒙特卡洛模拟的,而无需考虑空气动力学效应,以查看移动时是否有更大的机会。结果表明,至少在影响力的可能性更高的角度方面,流行神话是正确的。再次证明,流行的神话可以成为正式科学以外的宝贵知识的来源。

There is a popular myth transferred from generation to generation related to the festivity of the Valencian Fallas. During these days, it is traditional to throw pyrotechnic devices of all kinds. There is a legend about the so-called drunk fireworks, small rockets that move randomly at high speed. According to folk wisdom, if you try to run away from a drunk firework, it will chase you until it hits you. It is performed a Monte Carlo simulation without considering aerodynamic effects to see if there is indeed a greater chance of a person being hit when moving. The results indicate that the popular myth is correct, at least in terms of having a higher probability of impact. Once again, it is demonstrated that popular myths can be a source of valuable knowledge beyond formal science.
