Getting my beliefs challenged
I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...

I am glad you post regularly your Wordless Wednesday picture, as you are not around that much otherwise; at least I know you are alive.;)
Hope you are having a lovely week my Scandinavian friend.;)

Sorry, so much to catch up on here that I haven't been keeping up with everyone's blogs.

Tom, I had a trip to Oslo earlier this month. I was trying to capture the dawn. And I've been having trouble keeping up with others, too (as you may have noticed).
Alice, thanks for that link! Absolutely enjoyable! I own the first two seasons of the Muppet show and do want to get them all.
