Of-course the story isn't literally true , doubters will complain, but it is. It just all depends on how slowly you raise the heat. In 1869, German physiologist Friedrich Goltz demonstrated that if you raised the temperature of the water from 17.5 °C to 56 °C in about ten minutes, or 3.8 °C per minute, the frogs will attempt to escape, where-as if heated over the course of 90 minutes from about 21 °C to 37.5 °C, a rate of less than 0.2 °C per minute, the frog will float there quite placidly, and as the water gradually heats up, will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, will unresistingly allow itself to be cooked to death. This is what is happening to us. In the same way frogs boil happily to de...
