This reminds me of an experiment recounted in a great book Phantoms in the Brain , which I always wanted to try. The subject sits with a model nose placed some distance in front of them on which someone taps and strokes in some non predict

The linked sources don't say the four "came to me before you", as above, but rather "came before you". So it's a joke about the fickleness of dream interpretations. That is, a dream of driving a four horse ch

Really like that! Presumably this is because most people's sense of what feels prime is: odd numbers which don't appear in the times tables; and only 39, 51, 57, 69, 87, 91 and 93 are red herrings in that regard, all of which bar

Wait, what, so atoms, neutrons, quarks etc. are all growing and moving apart at the same rate as the Universe?

Why, time and time again, do we see results of major studies by career scientists which don't pass a moment's scrutiny by the educated layman?

Not long ago this kind of technology and anyone working on it would have been given a pretty rough ride on this forum, no matter how well designed. Now it's those raising concerns who are being hounded out with down-voting. How times h

I wasn't referring to human urea particularly.

Isn't suddenly being covered in urea a long established hazard of the trade for many insects?

I've never heard anyone say Legos, it sounds nonsensical to my ear. Lego is the system. You've got Lego men, Lego wheels and Lego bricks. If you're referring to a Lego brick as 'a Lego', then fair enough. But who do

The parent site is also mine. Believe it or not some people have occasionally said that's cool too, despite the scammy domain name! (It's not that bad is it!?) The lidar map is kind of a side project within a side project. It&#x
