Levitation with Acoustics




The idea that something so intangible can lift objects can seem unbelievable, but it's a real phenomenon. Acoustic levitation takes advantage of the properties of sound to cause solids, liquids and heavy gases to float. The process can take place in normal or reduced gravity. In other words, sound can levitate objects on Earth or in gas-filled enclosures in space.

Rupert Sheldrake - The Science Delusion




This is an interesting video which I would like to share. 

Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of more than 80 scientific papers and ten books. A former Research Fellow of the Royal Society, he studied natural sciences at Cambridge University, where he was a Scholar of Clare College, took a double first class honours degree and was awarded the University Botany Prize. Apparently, he was once based in the Botany Department of the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, from 1968 to 1969,  where he studied rain forest plants. Read more here

Anyway, back to his talk about scientific dogmas, debunking what is believed as constants. He speaks about the speed of light, which experiments have shown, does not travel at a constant speed. And gravity as well. Towards the end, he briefly mentioned the human mind.

People should be able to question and enquire. People should learn to investigate instead of believing blindly. Find the truth. Kids are born to be curious. It is nature's way to help them learn. Unfortunately, it's the adults who suppress and impose conformity upon them. The kids then grow up losing that ability to think. Such a pity.
