Week 13 - Memory and Magic

I have always been tricked by magic. I can't even get half of the changes in those pictures at the back of the trash gossip magazines. I do however have a good memory. the subtle changes in environment are difficult. I think it's great that scientists are studying magic and that people are questioning reality.

Week 13 -To live is to know

To live is to know, sure, but we can alter what we"know" just by changing our convictions. D o we truly know that we are alive and is that even the point? What is this obsession with proving our aliveness? Will this help people sleep at night? Why not be settled with what is there and interpret that and find meaning in the present?

Week 10 - Animations

These didn't work for me. i just got the Q for the player application but no animations.

Week 10 - Definitions of Chemistry of Life

Very comprehensive but not that fun to navigate. I have trouble reading purely informative text online, I would rather have a book.
