I once took a huge dose of special k, and the only major visual hallucination I experienced was not being able to recognise people's faces. I had to look out for my friends based on what they were wearing (it was horrible).
Anyway, does anybody know if special k affects the same parts of the brain mentioned in TFA?
that isn't really the point, though is it. the point is that any theory which leads us towards a `mysterious unknown force' should be treated sceptically, as it reeks of a lack of data.
Surely everyone must remember `dark matter'. I held my breath over MACHOS and WIMPS... that is until the Hubble telescope was up and running properly, and thousands upon thousands of previously undiscovered galaxies were observed. This new data explained the `mising mass' of the universe much better than the Dark Matter theory ever did.
Obviously this situation isn't identical, but still I think any `unknown factor' solution to scientific problems should be avoided... surely there's a more down to earth solution to this problem, which we just haven't come across the evidence for yet?
