Sonicbolt At least in terms of knowing what's real and what's not...yes, yes they are. People are taught to believe in things that don't make sense; they're not born believing. There was another study recently which showed that children raised in a home who were taught that supernatural stories were true had a much harder time discerning reality from fantasy than those who weren't. Lack of information can be cured through education; misinformation is much harder to fix.

This is crazy cool. I often sit in the park and just look at a patch of grass and I can see so many things within the blades, so many different faces, animals and objects. It's kinda like constant cloud watching, it sometimes gets quite dangerous when I see things while I'm walking about London. it's a part of my brain that I can't turn off so it's sometimes creepy as hell when it's dark and I see things in the shadows. My mates thought I was crazy for so long.

So, if people are seeing "Crazy Stuff on Mars", does that mean people who see religious imagery on Toast/Cinnamon Buns are also "Crazy"??? :o

That crab thing is still pretty convincing :p

This is why all adults should grow OUT of their imaginary friend stage. Not cling into it into adulthood and convince their children and peers their imaginary friend exists. It's Mars... there's nobody there! (yet...)

I am always thankful how nonjudgemental you are (or are in your videos I should say) about peoples' beliefs. Beliefs can help people cope with the heavy realities of life - those who have seen what horrific acts humans can easily do, those who are traumatized by violence or accidents, and those who have suffered great loss as examples. Lots of troll-bait out there will insult peoples' belief, even those who are passive believers not shoving the matter into anyone's 'face'. Secondly, I always get a big thrill when I see another SciShow viddy notification!! Love this show. Can you do one on epigenetics and the latest research news of epigenetics? xoxoxoxoxo you make a sick nerdy girl happy either way.

I haven't myself, however if you haven't either, then you can't say that the "experiment" says yes, only that the video is telling you that the experiment concluded as such. If you don't look into the experiment itself, as well as its methodology, then you really can't say what the experiment concludes, only what the video (which is separate from the experiment) is telling you it concludes. I hypothesize that believing what people tell you about the results of an experiment, without actually looking into the experiment yourself, makes you more gullible..... For the record I don't believe in the supernatural.

Brent Davila actually i did read the experiment cited by the video, and it's exactly what hank explained it.. believing in the supernatural apparently make your brain more susceptible in seeing things that is not there because your brain just simple accept that there is a person when it is told a person was there (activating face recognition part of your brain call FFA) and looking for said person, and if your brain cant find it, it do what it does best.. make things up.. resulting you see things that isnt there. so yeah, you can draw conclusion that believing in supernatural would make you more gullible. btw, if you havnt read it, i highly suggest that you do, it's very interesting stuff.

I have a photo stored on a hard drive that's of an arborvita tree which appears to have the face of the Green Man. It's one tree out of a boarder of trees in a windbreak. Always found that photo so fascinating!

I would also like to know "Why People Keep Seeing Ghosts of Mars" because it is, frankly, amongst John Carpenter's worst films.

BTW I've never understood why religious people are ridiculed for finding sanctity in random patterns which resemble holy figures. Many denominations use paintings to represent the divine. These images are treated with respect, even though they tend to be man-made and generally aren't miraculous, unnatural portals to heaven. They are just colorful substances arranged in a certain pattern. What if this pattern has been arranged as a result of a random natural phenomenon, rather than a purposeful human action? I don't think this necessarily makes it unfit for religious practices. Quite the opposite - as a culture, we tend to ascribe greater value to rare, unlikely natural phenomena (most of the nature is actually gross, scary or boring). If a natural monument can be considered beautiful, then it can also be considered sacred.

Elitistb616 That depends, random appearance of such an image isn't always interpreted as an expression of particular deific will. Besides, the concept of divine intent tends to be very broad. If contemplating the divine causes people to interpret these patterns in a way which provokes greater observance of religious customs, you could say that the phenomenon (or its spiritual interpretation) matches the divine will.

"random appearance of such an image isn't always interpreted as an expression of particular deific will" Which does not qualify for pareidolia and is thus tangential to this discussion.

Of course it's not actually a woman, they are all on Venus.

One time after I had major surgery they put me on some of the strongest painkillers they have. Like, just a constant IV drip (it was a major incision and removal of bone) and as you might imagine I was incredibly out of it. I remember I'd just get locked up in the smallest details and if someone else wasn't present I'd often just sit there in my own little world for hours on end. And in doing so I remember I spent A LONG time just staring at the tiling of my room and making out hundreds of faces/shapes in the random shapes in the marbling. I only bring this up because as a normal, everyday, non-doped up individual I've never done this, nor am I prone to seeing impossible stuff where it doesn't exist. And yet, when my brain was reduced to a more primitive state it occupied a vast part of my time. Seeming to suggest to me that this "mental desire to find familiar features" is deeply ingrained on a very basic level. And it just depends on how our conscious, thinking brain operates whether we give these thoughts credence or not.

Really good video!

Mm such Rare Mars Pepe

>like seeing pepe the frog in a piece of toast NORMIES GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I remember having a rorschach test. The psychologist giving it kept looking back at the paper as I was describing what I saw. Apparently its not common for someone to give detailed, multi-paragraph descriptions of what they see. But it seems like none of the things I described were actually worrysome, so my file just ended up with the note "Very creative."

Great video!

Idk guys but 'The Woman on Mars' seems like a great book idea.

a good example of this in cars is the australian au model falcon. the headlights were shaped so that if you percieved a face in the car, it looked sad. this led to a lowering of sales when compared to its competitor - the holden commodore.

That first Rorschach image totally looks like a tarantula. It's got the big fuzzy mouth parts on top and their funny little two front not-legs, and then the first two pairs of legs are pointing diagonally upward and sideways, and the last two pairs of legs are touching its abdomen. It's even got a point for the spinnerets on the bottom

May I ask to explain the spike in fleeing people (Sorry if you dont understand, but im Dutch and dont know the word of the top of my head now) beyond the plain old "There is more war now"?

it would be cool if you could explain that picture that's going around on tumblr that says on a certain day you'll be able to see mars as clearly as the moon, and that it won't happen again until 2877 or something like that. i know it isn't real, but would anything like that ever be remotely possible?

does lavender actually help you sleep, or is it a placebo?

Its about organising chaos as brains can't deal with random information. I learned it's possibly an evolutionary advantage to help associate friends from foes by recognising a face. similar pathways are probably used to cause this phenomenon... like when you see shapes in the dark which is also part of fight or flight - identifying if the shape wants to eat you or be your friend...
