Another volcano erupted in Iceland today. Apparently, the massive amounts of ash that erupted caused thousands of flights across Europe to cancel and caused "one of the biggest disruptions to global air travel since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001."... possibly another confirmation??
I have yet to find a lost Panda in a windmill filled region. Predictions are hulla-ballo. I have about as much chance at predicting the future as I do at winning the stanley cup, by myself.
The popular media and self-help industry is rife with extraordinary claims. Alien experimentation, psychic detectives, mediums, ESP, extreme therapies and miracle products are all examples of how pseudoscience and the paranormal have become prevalent, popular and even an extremely lucrative enterprise. The majority of these examples defy the basic laws of science, logic and common sense yet they appeal to a large number of people. Here we will use science, specifically a psychological perspective to explore these popular theories and claims, and learn to think critically in order to be able to constructively evaluate them.
Someone was spot on with the earthquake prediction!
