Great video that questions this common belief in the only way Science knows how. Test it.

Are your memories planted by someone you do not know?
Very intriguing episode on the You Are Not So Smart podcast. It is entirely possible for someone to plant memories in your brain of experiences or things that never happened to you. And it’s all done through a series of questions. And the other person may not even be aware they are doing it.
[More]Your Mood Determines What You Will Do
The Wall Street Journal published a compelling idea backed but by research that indicates you are controlled to some degree by your mood. Meaning the choices you take, and the decisions you make.

It’s a lot to wade through for a casual video. But it’s worth it for a big reveal at the end.
[More]The Greatest Photographic Image Mankind has Ever Produced
The Hubble Legacy Field image is the greatest photographic image mankind has ever produced because it is the culmination of human and scientific pursuits since the beginning of our existence. Everything we have ever done has got us to the point of producing this image.
For more information please visit the home page of the Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Legacy Field combines observations taken by several Hubble deep-field surveys. In 1995, the Hubble Deep Field captured several thousand previously unseen galaxies. The subsequent Hubble Ultra Deep Field from 2004 revealed nearly 10,000 galaxies in a single image. The 2012 Hubble eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF, was assembled by combining ten years of NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observations taken of a patch of sky within the original Hubble Ultra Deep Field.
Why I Follow Formula 1 Racing
Why bother to make even lighter models? The firm points out that over half of wheelchair users end up with upper body damage over the years. Aside from the materials, “in order to ease these chances the wheels have been positioned in closer proximity to the user which helps to increase propelling efficiency.”

I follow Formula 1 auto racing because, unlike all other sports, it is singularly focused on advancing the capabilities of human and machine. Formula 1 racing is a money-no-object pursuit of the latest technological advances in applied material science, aerodynamics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemistry, physics, and human health and kinesiology.
Working with Formula 1 race car manufacturers and employing aerospace materials, a Swiss firm has developed what they claim is the world’s lightest wheelchair, with a frame weighing in at just 3.3 pounds.
Take this wheel chair for example. Formula 1 racing is a sport that gives back to society. I think it’s fair to say that other sports contribute through the pursuit of traditional sports medicine. But I think there is a limit in terms of how much of that feeds back into every day normal people. Auto racing is the stress test that produces innovation.
