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 looked at the larger version of the photo and am completely lost as to the words on second-from-left building. First thought was "SILD - FISK" might mean seafood (SILD, I dunno, a name of a fish, and FISK means fish) but it doesn't look like a fishmonger's to me!
What a beautiful place though.

Have a great Wednesday,

Don't be a stranger. :)
(Seriously: there are permanently shaded areas everywhere. I'm curious how much snow much be left in such places by the summertime.)

Zuzana, "gamla stan" has a bit in common with Bergen. I want to see it again.
Paula, you've probably discovered I'm no stranger now. :-)
Max, we do have some permanent snow here and there in the mountains, usually deep in some bowl, which keeps the bottom mostly in the shade.
To all: Thanks for the compliments!
