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 ...

Alice, you could play a movie of a crackling fire. I have such a DVD. ;-)
Hope your summer is lovely, Keera.

A month later, and we're having a lovely heatwave, so can't complain about how it's turning out.
I hope the rest of your summer is enjoyable. :-)
Oh, well, that was my thinking that last time you heard from me, too. So, then, not much change after all...
D/, I'm happy you drop by, no matter what you say. :-)
