Minute Physics – Shrodinger’s Cat
Seriously folks, check out this guys videos, his drawings are funny and he explains and clarifies common misunderstandings in a really great way. As I learn more science, it’s becoming more clear to me that there aren’t simple answers to many things, in fact, there aren’t really many answers, just the best models we can currently come up with. Sure, some of them are pretty steadfast, but science and understanding is always evolving at a startling rate. It’s quite exciting really.

Reason Seen More as Weapon Than Path to Truth
For centuries thinkers have assumed that the uniquely human capacity for reasoning has existed to let people reach beyond mere perception and reflex in the search for truth. Rationality allowed a solitary thinker to blaze a path to philosophical, moral and scientific enlightenment.
Now some researchers are suggesting that reason evolved for a completely different purpose: to win arguments.
Fascinating in so many ways.
