[R#1] Boy Remembers Past Life (Video)

Simply put, this documentary presents a strong case.  You have two ways to react after watching it.

1. Believe that reincarnation is real or at least there's something more out there

The latter was what the professor at the end of the documentary chose in an attempt to explain this phenomenon on the basis of... commonsense.

How Quantum Mechanics Contradicts Our Commonsense Beliefs

In earlier posts, I talked about the significance of quantum mechanics to our technology advancements and reviewed the book- Quantum Enigma.  However, I missed the most important point; I didn't explain how exactly quantum mechanics is contrary to our common senses.  I'll try my best to keep the explanation short and simple, so even I could understand it.  If you don't like to read (at least watch the cartoon), skip to the last part where I list what the quantum mechanics is strongly suggesting.

Human Sensing Surroundings Like A Bat. (Video)

Philosopher, Thomas Nagel, is famous for asking "What is it like to be a bat?"  The answer is "we don't have a freaking clue".  But we're one step closer to feel like a bat with our ability of echolocation.  This is not news, it's been formally known and studied as early as the 1950s.  Just don't ask me why is it not widely known in 2010.
