Umzimba kaJohn McCain ulele e-Arizona State Capital. Ungomnye wabantu abathathu abaziwayo abasweleke kutshanje.UJustin Sullivan / Getty Izithombe UAretha Franklin, John McCain kunye no Neil Simon benyuka baya emasangweni eeperile. Kubonakala ngathi umthetho wesiThathu wabetha kwakhona, utshilo uSt.
Okwangoku ukuba abantu abadumileyo babhubhile, bekukho i UMgaqo weSithathu . Omabini amajelo eendaba kunye noluntu ngokubanzi banamathele kwingcinga yokuba abantu abadumileyo bayatshabalala kathathu.
Kodwa ngaba bukhona ubunyani benzululwazi kule nkolelo kudala ikho, okanye ngamabona-ndenzile?
Umthetho weSithathu waqala ukungena kwisichazi-magama kudala, kwakudala. Ngomhla kaFebruwari 3, 1959, iinkwenkwezi ezintathu zerock and roll roll-UBuddy Holly, uRitchie Valens kunye noBig Bopper-wabhubha kwingozi yenqwelo-moya. Lo mhla yaziwa njengoSuku loMculo usweleke kwaye waphefumlela uDon McLean's magnum opus Iphayi yase-Amerika .
Ezinye iyelenqe lomculo lavela emva kweso siganeko, njenge Iklabhu yama-27 (ebizwa ngegama leqela leemvumi ezisweleke ngelo xesha). Kodwa umgaqo weSithathu unamandla okuhlala kakhulu kumashumi eminyaka kunye noqeqesho, ngenxa yokunyuka kweendaba zosasazo.
Inzala kulo mthetho ivuselelwe ngoDisemba ka-2006, xa uJames Brown, uGerald Ford noSaddam Hussein wasweleka kwiintsuku ezintlanu omnye komnye .
Ke, ngoJuni 2009, uEd McMahon, uFarrah Fawcett kunye noMichael Jackson bonke udlule kwiiyure ezingama-48.
Njengokuba iminyaka idlulile, inani lee-trios labonakala ngathi liya likhula rhoqo, likhuthaza abaxhasi boMthetho wesiThathu.
- UDisemba 2011: UChristopher Hitchens kunye noVáclav Havel Ukwabelana ngendawo yokungcwaba kunye noKim Jong-il ngaphezulu kweentsuku ezintathu.
- NgoFebruwari 2014: UFilipu Seymour Hoffman, uShirley Temple kunye noSid Caesar bafa kwisithuba seentsuku ezili-10 .
- NgoJanuwari 2016: Unyaka wokusweleka waqala ngoDavid Bowie, Alan Rickman noGlenn Frey Ukuphuma kweli hlabathi kwiintsuku ezisibhozo omnye komnye.
- Nge-Disemba ka-2016: Unyaka uphele nge-trio yokuhlonipha uGeorge Michael, uCarrie Fisher noDebbie Reynolds, bonke wasweleka phakathi kweKrisimesi kunye nonyaka omtsha .
IParanoia malunga nomthetho iye yaqina kakhulu ngalo lonke ixesha xa abantu ababini abadumileyo besifa ngokulandelelana ngokukhawuleza, iivenkile zeVegas qala amadama okufa ukuqikelela ukuba ngubani oza kuba ngowesithathu. Ke nabani na obheja kwifama kuNeil Simon kwiveki ephelileyo angathatha isaphetha.
Kodwa ngelixa u-Celebrity Deathmatch uyinto eyonwabisayo (ukuba iyabulala), ingumbandela weenkolelo ngaphezu kwesayensi ngqo.

Abantu abaziwayo bayafa ngalo lonke ixesha, ngamanye amaxesha babe ngamaqela amabini okanye amane (anje ngeNkosazana uDiana noMama uTeresa badlula ingaphelanga iveki omnye komnye ngo-1997). Kodwa iqela lingena kuphela kwingqondo yethu xa kubandakanyeka abantu abathathu.
Umgaqo weSithathu sisiphumo sokukhetha kwengqondo, umbhali wesayensi kunye Ukuthandabuza Umshicileli wemagazini uMichael Shermer uxelele uMbonisi. Siyaqaphela ukubetha kwaye silibale ukuphoswa.
Kukho isizathu soko: inani lesithathu imele ukuphelela okanye ukugqibelela kwiinkalo ezininzi ukusuka kwinkolo (uYise, uNyana kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele ebuKristwini) ukuya kwezemidlalo (igolide, isilivere kunye neembasa zobhedu kwiiOlimpiki).
Kwiingoma, isithathu linani lomlingo . Kwezobuntatheli, Ntathu umkhwa .
Akukho nto ikhethekileyo malunga nenani lesithathu ngaphandle kokulungiswa kweenkolelo kunye nokuqamba, utshilo uShermer.
UJohn Hoopes, uprofesa we-anthropology kwiYunivesithi yaseKansas, waya phambili. Uxelele uMqwalaseli ukuba uMgaqo weSithathu yintsomi.
Hoopes uqaphele ukuba amanani awaziwayo afana nentatheli yolonwabo URobin Leach kunye noNobhala-Jikelele weZizwe eziManyeneyo UKofi Annan Baye basweleka kwezi veki zidlulileyo, bebenolwalamano oluncinci kunolweFranklin / McCain / Simon abathathu ababhubhe ngokusondeleyo.
Abanye basenokubona oku njengokubonakaliswa kwesimo somntu oswelekileyo, okanye amagqabantshintshi ngexesha lokuqwalaselwa elifutshane koluntu. Kodwa ubukhulu becala bubungqina bemfuno yomntu yokufuna iipateni.
Enye yeendawo zokufunda zikaHoopes apophenia , okanye utyekelo lokwenza unxibelelwano phakathi kweziganeko ezingahambelaniyo. Umzekelo, abantu abaninzi banamathisela ukubaluleka okungafunekiyo kumanani aphindaphindiweyo (njengemihla ye-11/11/11 okanye ye-12/12/12).
Bonke abantu banako ukubona iipateni. Umahluko (kunye nengozi) nge-apophenia kukuba abantu baqala ukutolika idatha engenantsingiselo (njengemihla ephindaphindayo okanye ukufa kosaziwayo) njengentsingiselo. Abanye bade bathelekise le ngxaki kunye neenkcukacha zomzuzu ukuya kwi likhoboka .
Ngokuqinisekileyo kuyonwabisa ukuvuma isigqebelo xa abantu abathathu abadumileyo besifa ngokulandelelana ngokukhawuleza. Kodwa ukubambelela kumgaqo we-ironclad wale meko ingaqhelekanga kuya kukuthumela kumngxunya onobungozi womvundla.
