Chickens Hatched from Cooked Eggs: Claims Article in Pay-to-Publish Academic Journal from China

A Chinese academic journal published a research paper claiming success in hatching chicks from cooked chicken eggs.

The article claimed that trained students used "super-psychological consciousness energy" to turn cooked eggs back to raw within 20 minutes. The chicks hatched from these eggs would even grow up to be egg-laying chickens, the article claimed.

The article had gone viral on Chinese social media, with many netizens lambasting it for being "anti-science".

The journal has published 3 articles on the topic in total, each detailing different aspects of the egg-hatching experiment.

According to interviews by Chinese media, the editor of the publishing journal revealed that each paper is published at a price of 750RMB, even emphasizing that "as long as you pay, anything can be printed."

Public records show that the journal "Portrait of Geography"
(寫真地理) is under the supervision of Jilin Provincial News, Radio, Film and Television Bureau of the #PRC. It is a nationally-approved periodical, under the category of "emerging" geography publications.

The said article details the experiment being undertaken by 10 students at a vocational training school in Zhengzhou, China.

10 experts and parents were on hand to observe and witness the experiment, including the author and the school's principal Ge Ping, as well as the chief physician of a provincial teaching hospital.

In response to press inquiries, Ge asserted that the experiment was carried out by herself, and all details described in the article are true.

She further claimed that she had trained all her students into developing supernatural powers; not only could they restore life to a cooked egg, "they could take any leaf, tear it apart, then heal it up again." The students were also said to be able to "take pictures with their phones when they have been powered off."
