Revision 6
Foreword
In the past, things like
television,
and words and
ideas like
advertising, capitalism, microwave
and
cancer
all seemed too strange for the ordinary
man.
As man walks towards the future, overloaded with
information, more mysteries have been solved
through the wonders of science. Although some
things remained too odd for science to reproduce
or disprove, man had placed them in the gray
areas between
truth
and
skepticism
and labeled
them with terminologies fit for the modern age.
But the truth is, as long as the strange and
unexplainable cases keep piling up, the more likely
it would seem normal or natural. Answers are
always elusive and far too fewer than questions.
And yet, behind all the wonderful and frightening
phenomena around us, it is possible that what we
call
mysterious
today won’t be too strange
tomorrow.
This book might encourage you to believe or refute
what lies beyond your own understanding.
Nonetheless, I hope it will keep you entertained
and astonished.
