There is a continuous movement of thoughts within us, but if the skull is opened up for dissection there is no sign of them within. The scientist will declare that, technically speaking, thoughts do not exist; but we all know that thoughts are very much there, for we experience them. If thoughts cannot be proved in a laboratory, it only means that the apparatus used is too coarse to detect the subtle element of thought. Some experiments have been conducted of late, however, and very soon we shall be able to develop the method of detecting thoughts. One university in America has carried out a test in this connection. A man was made to sit before a very sensitive camera and he was asked to concentrate with all his energy on a single thought. The camera was loaded with an extra sensitive film and it was hoped that if a thought was projected with full concentration, this film might be able to catch its reflection. The man fixed his mind on a knife, with one pointed attention, and to the wonder of all, the film showed the picture of a knife. The camera was successful in catching the subtle waves of the mind. This was the first time that thought was ever photographed. -ennu oru sitil kandu.. :-) scope for a scienc fictn. :-)
