4400

4400 on dokudraama, joka kertoo siitä kuinka joskus kadonneet 4400 ihmistä palaavat yllättäen takaisin tulevaisuudesta ja kuinka heille on poissa ollessaan kehittynyt uusia kykyjä. Aivan ilmeisesti he ovat siis käyttäneet aikakonetta. Asiat eivät kuitenkaan ole näin yksinkertaisia, sillä kyseisen dokudraamasarjan edetessä muillekin kuin valituille 4400:lle kehittyy uusia kykyjä.

Esimerkkejä 4400-kyvyistä

• Juominen ilman krapulan pelkoa
• Juominen humaltumatta
• Kyky nukkua sikeästi, herätä välillä täysin virkeäksi ja nukkua välittömästi uudelleen
• Kyky ajaa autoa kolmen promillen humalassa herättämättä huomiota
• Kyky saada lehti kuin lehti myytyä yhdellä puhelinsoitolla 90-vuotiaalle mummolle
• Kyky saada turpaansa kaikissa baareissa, joihin ikinä menee

Epävirallista faktaa

• Suomessa katoaa vuosittain vähintään 500 henkilöä (osa heistä kylläkin palaa takaisin vain hautausmaalle)

There are much better ways to get the benefits that positive thinking allegedly provides.

A Brief History of Timekeeping

"For millennia, humans have sought to make sense of time, to visualize it, to ride its arrow, to hack it, to understand biological connection to it. Time is the very foundation of conscious experience, writes Dan Falk in In Search of Time: The History, Physics, and Philosophy of Time. And yet that awareness has a long history of friction -- to mark and measure the passage of time has proven remarkably challenging.
