What do you think about this one, Neil deGrasse-Tyson? Turkish plastic surgeon Emin Tuncay Ustuner believes that it?s gravity, not genes, that causes men to go bald.
??[The] force of downward pull caused by the gravity on the scalp skin? is the key contributor to progressive hair loss in male pattern baldness,? he writes in a paper for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. According to his postulation, as certain men age, the underlying scalp fat lessens, putting more pressure on the hair follicles; hair loss on the sides of a man?s head is considerably less because the ears help deflect some of gravity?s effects.
The doctor acknowledges that his claims have been met with ?notable skepticism and resistance.? To us, the most surprising thing about this theory is that Jose Conseco didn?t come up with it. [Source]
