Science is anti-intuitive.

As a physicist of the microscopic world, I fully agree with this conclusion. It is not because we feel that something works in some ways, that it does.

PS: your references are maybe a bit small for my poor eyes :)

Yeah, I think I went too far with the size of the references. Bad choice in design not wanting it too look too cramped. I hope is better now.

Thanks for the refs. It looks bigger than what I remind from the previous version. Maybe one more step bigger? (I am almost blind :p )

Sure, I've also modified the code so my future posts will have a bigger font. I just like changing the HTML, It could get annoying for my reader, I know. Thanks for the feedback.

Wow, perception is definitely reality but after seeing this post, my perception could be incorrect.....your mind tends to create a different sensory experience once you have seen a picture/video.... my mind wanted to add sound when there was none or it interpretted things differently when viewing the input..... interesting to think how the mind is capable of changing the way we interpret and "see" things compared to what is actually being presented...

Reminds me of how 3D films are created, there is one movie screen but when wearing those 3D glasses, our minds actually create a sense of dept and 3-Dimentionality..... really interesting to consider perception versus reality....

If a human being did not have their 5 senses, would they still be human? Do our senses make us human because this is how we interact with the world.....what/how would life be if some or all of our senses were missing?

Is actually a similar technology. In this case, it uses particular types of metals but the physical principles are the same.

Yeah, its interesting to think how our brains interpret things. Thank you for the good content

This was a great article, both the content as well as the links and videos provided were informative and fun to watch.
It also helped me to gain some insights into the nature of discussing rational topics with non-rational entities, something I've been thinking about and might write a post about sooner or later.
Thanks a lot for the article!

Is just an interesting thought. Thanks for passing by.

I agree with you, it is not useful to participate in situations where the perception of the problem is limited but how could we efficiently avoid it?

The hell are you talking about? that's not what the post says, is the actual opposite.

Also, I didn't understand it

Very much informative post

The first time I saw this gif I actually "heard" a thump every time the pylon landed.

I can actively choose to hear it and not hear it.
