QUOTES FROM ARISTOTLE

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and scientist. Born in Stagirus, northern Greece, in 384 BCE .  His writings cover many subjects – including physics , biology, zoology, metaphysics , logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theater, music, rhetoric, linguistics, politics and government – and constitute the first comprehensive system of Western philosophy. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Aristotle was the first genuine scientist in history. ... Every scientist is in his debt."

"Wise men speak when they have something to say, fools speak because they have to say something."

What is Deja Vu

The term déjà vu is French and means literally, "already seen." Those who have experienced the feeling describe it as an overwhelming sense of familiarity with something that shouldn't be

familiar at all. Say, for example, you are traveling to new place for the first time and when you get there suddenly it seems as if you have been in that very spot before, felt like you know the place better. It's so strange isn't? In the déjà vu experience, however, we feel strange because we don't think we should feel familiar with the present perception. That sense of inappropriateness is not present.

The psychologist Edward B. Titchener in his book A Textbook of Psychology, explained déjà vu as caused by a person having a brief glimpse of an object or situation, before the brain has completed "constructing" a full conscious perception of the experience. Such a "partial perception" then results in a false sense of familiarity. Scientific approaches reject the explanation of déjà vu as "precognition" or "prophecy ", but rather explain it as an anomaly of memory, which creates a distinct impression that an experience is "being recalled". As much as 70 percent of the total population of the world reports having experienced some or the other kind of Deja vu experience. This is commonly found in people in the age group of 16 to 25 years. Several psychiatrists have been conducting researches on this topic, and many have found various reasons for the occurrence of these experience. Some attribute it to temporal lobe, while some say it is just an illusion. Many have also reported Deja vu to be an experience of past life.

Since déjà vu occurs in individuals with and without a medical condition, there is much speculation as to how and why this phenomenon happens. Several psychoanalysts attribute déjà vu to simple fantasy or wish fulfillment, while some psychiatrists ascribe it to a mismatching in the brain that causes the brain to mistake the present for the past. Many parapsychologists believe it is related to a past-life experience. Obviously, there is more investigation to be done.

Unique Daily Info : Fun Facts about Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, city in the Regional Municipality of Niagara, southeastern Ontario, Canada, a port on the Niagara River opposite Niagara Falls, New York. The city overlooks the Horseshoe, or Canadian, Falls cataract of Niagara Falls; the crescent-shaped cataract is 54 M (177 ft) high and carries nine times more water than its United States counterpart. Niagara Falls is an enormously popular tourist destination, and it also serves as a major source of electricity for Ontario.

 

Here let’s check it out fun facts about Niagara Falls :

• The Falls at Niagara are about 12,000 years old.
• Niagara Falls is made up of 3 waterfalls : the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and the Horseshoe Falls. The 3 waterfalls combine to produce the highest flow rate of any waterfall on earth.

• Fish travel down the Falls—and about 90% of them survive thanks to the foamy cushion on the way down.
• The Niagara River flows at approximately 35 miles/hour (56.3 kilometers/hour).
• 681,750 gallons of water flows over the Horseshoe Falls every second.

• The first person to ever go over the Falls was a courageous 63-year-old teacher Annie Edson Taylor. She traveled down the Falls in a barrel.

• Falls were formed when melting glaciers formed massive fresh-water lakes (the Great Lakes) one of which (Lake Erie) ran downhill toward another (Lake Ontario). The rushing waters carved out a river in their descent and at one point passed over a steep cliff like formation (the Niagara escarpment). From the original falls going over the Niagara Escarpment, the water began to wear its way back up the river.
