Email #1: Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon
Hello fellow skeptics. I have been listening to the SGU for almost a decade now and really enjoy and appreciate what you guys are doing. Critical thinking is needed NOW MORE THAN EVER. To my comment: Have you guys discussed the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon before? Apparently it is a frequency illusion where when you hear about something it all of a sudden appears more frequently, i.e., learning about a new person and all of a sudden the person's name appears everywhere. I have a sense that it is a cognitive bias but would like to especially hear Steve's and Cara’s takes on the subject (the neurologist and psychologist, respectively).
– Adrian Tello, Texas
Science or Fiction (1:29:37)
Item #1: Researchers unveiled a new computer modeling system of a living cell that is 1 million times faster than existing simulations.[7]
Item #2: For the first time physicists report they have been able to isolate true magnetic monopoles.† [8]
Item #3: NASA recently successfully tested their new communications link to the ISS, which was able to transmit data up and down at 1.2 gigabits per second.[9]† "Quadruple-𝑄" in the article title refers to q, the wave number used in the helical spiral (1Q state) and the hedgehog lattice (3Q state)
