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 ...

No, Tom, not this time. ;-) That's the top of a cupboard, not my desk. I hope you had a lovely Christmas! Happy New Year!
Thanks, Paula! After gluing my finger to the paper, large portions of my childhood came back to me. ;-)
AD, I had a lovely Christmas, and I enjoyed reading about yours. All's well that end's well, yes? I wish for you and yours a less dramatic 2011.
