On Levitating Dachshunds, Crop Circles, And Other Conspiracy Theories - Psychology Today

Once upon a time Scott Eberle came home to find his toy dachshund standing atop his fireplace's mantle. Being a tiny-legged weinerdog there was no real way the pup could've gotten up there... except for levitation. Then again a far more reasonable explanation, while astounding, was harder to swallow than the easy answer couched in woo-woo. It's a delightful thesis on Ockham's razor and the rise of bullshit in our zeitgeist. Also in that zeitgeist, Rich Reynolds has an opinion on Reality As A Computer Simulation — It's Very Iffy and it 'rhymes' with Scott Eberle's proposal. Yet in the midst of philosophies and hypotheses, at least mathematics is a concrete field. Yet it's particularly weird and counterintuitive as Karmela Padavic-Callaghan presents proof of how Imaginary Numbers Are Real. And where's that proof coming from? physicists studying the very fabric of or universe and reality itself. Best of all Karmela's piece doesn't require one to have some esoteric doctorate to understand and appreciate the wonders coming to the fore. (CS)
