What is boiling frog effect?




In nineteenth century, Cornell University has conducted a famous experiment known as "frog test." The experiment tried put a frog into a pot of boiling water, the frog was shocked and jumped out immediately from the pot. The frog was safe at the end. Later, the second experiment was put it in a pot of cold water and let the frog swims freely, but another site heated the cold water slowly. Although the frog can feel the outside temperature is changing, because of its inertia caused it not to jump out immediately. Until the juncture when the heat was unbearable, it was too late to save itself.


This is famous philosophy known "boiling frog effect".
