  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Penn and Teller demonstrate an ubiquitous phenomena of the Universe: Uncertainty increases as you go back in time. This applies to all scientific theories, and is a natural and normal property of investigation of events in the past.

BUT... Shouldn't we believe everything we read in books?

I mean if the information somehow managed to survive and last that long, how could it be irrefutable? I doubt anyone would EVER write down and publish anything based on personal opinion.

This refuels this bitter angry part of me that hates whenever some charlatan writes a book and puts whatever pseudo-science and nonsense they want in it. People will read that book and believe it just because somebody went through the effort of writing and publishing it in the first place. The only potential way to write the wrongs in a book is to counter it with another book, and even that isn't going to work. People usually only read books that support their already formed ideas.
