Ready to feel like a total idiot? Watch this movie:

BBC's The Illusion of Reality is rife with phrases like "outside human comprehension" and "I don't understand it - nobody does," and contains more information than most of us could easily process in an hour. But watch it anyway.
In my mind, most or all information disseminated by National Public Radio or the BBC is truth, so I do not hesitate to recommend this high-quality, mind-blowing documentary to you - a film that will help you to realize that you have a lot, lot of reading to do if you ever hope to be an educated individual, or to develop any understanding of the universe and human perception.
The film follows a bald Englishman as he guides the viewer through hundreds of years of sophisticated scientific theory and the lives and works of vital scientists you've never heard of in order to prove to you that the world as you know it is but a small slice of "an infinitely weirder, more wonderful universe than we could have ever conceived of in our wildest fantasies."
In other news, famous artist Lisa Piaskowy has generously agreed to supply BrainStorm with an arranged quantity of art in exchange for a mere 10% of this year's advertising revenue (in other words, 10% of nothing). Please admire our new logo to the top left of the page, as well as this post's accompanying image. All photos continue to be supplied by yours truly - until we find a photographer as generous as Lisa.
