  • Quantum Physics Revealed As Non-Mysterious --

    Quantum physics shows that reality doesn't exist apart from our observation of it, or Science has disproved the idea of an objective reality, or even just Quantum physics is one of the great mysteries of modern science; no one understands how it works.

    There was a time, roughly the first half-century after quantum physics was invented, when this was more or less true. Certainly, when quantum physics was just being discovered, scientists were very confused indeed! But time passed, and science moved on. If you're confused about a phenomenon, that's a fact about your own state of mind, not a fact about the phenomenon itself -- there are mysterious questions, but not mysterious answers. Science eventually figured out what was going on, and why things looked so strange at first.

  There. More education to come. Much more. Be well, know where you are, know where you want to go, and enjoy everything in between. Everything.

• WOWOW: The Illusions Edition [Links of the Week]

  by Alexander Becker

  Idleness, datamining, obsolete skills, illusions, autism, language, and keywords.

  • Idleness: Determine never to be idle: A simple productivity strategy --

    First of all, let's define what is meant by "idle". In my opinion, idle time is the time we spend on something other than what we are supposed to do. We know we should do something, but we procrastinate doing it or get distracted by something else. That is idle time.

    What is your default mode? --

    The best way to prevent a potentially negative aftermath to any accomplishment is to set up some idle-time protocol.

  • Datamining: Special reports 10 emerging technologies 2008 --

    Technology Review presents our list of the 10 technologies that we think are most likely to change the way we live.

  • Obsolete skills

  • Language 1: Keyword research for bloggers: A comprehensive guide --

    Keyword research, at its essence, is market research. It tells you what people are interested in, and in what relative numbers. Better yet, it reveals the actual language people are using when they think about those topics, which provides you with insight on how to converse with them via your blog.

  • Illusion: The anatomy of an illusion -- and what it tells us about the visual system --

    Take a look at this amazing illusion created by Arthur Shapiro

  • Language 2: Autism breakthrough: Girl's writings explain her behavior and feelings --

    Autism is hard because you want to act one way, but you can't always do that. It's sad that sometimes people don't know that sometimes I can't stop myself and they get mad at me. If I could tell people one thing about autism it would be that I don't want to be this way. But I am, so don't be mad. Be understanding.

  • Language 3: Study finds some thoughts really do require language --

    Some research suggests that understanding the thoughts of others -- having a theory of mind -- is one such process. Many children who are late in learning language are also late in developing a theory of mind.

  • Seth Godin: No user servicable parts inside --

    Here's a simple secret of success: ignore the sticker.

    Figure out how to use the tools that the most successful people in your field understand innately.

  Nothing is for real. Nothing.
