Although individual bodies are destined to self-destruct, the “me” feeling — the ‘Who am I?’ — is just a 20-watt fountain of energy operating in the brain…

Scientists in France shot photons into an apparatus and showed that what they did could retroactively alter something that had already happened in the past. You heard that right! As the photons passed a fork in the apparatus, they had to decide whether to behave like particles or waves when they hit a beam splitter. Later on — after they had traveled nearly 50 meters past the fork — the experimenter could randomly switch a second beam splitter on and off.
