While many believe there to be a fine line between hard science and what we call magic, the world reminds us time and again that this is not the case: our universe is filled with the enchanted, with things that cannot always be explained or things that, once explained, are almost unbelievable. Sometimes, the discoveries themselves are unbelievable, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn by Abraham Lincoln's example?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very quick to forget."
He was conscious of how important it was for him to keep learning. He also understood that he would eventually have to learn new habits.
The same applies to our businesses. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.
It is vital to continually learn and develop new skills. Even after we achieve success, it is essential to continue learning.
Lincoln was the right person. He recognized that while he could become more effective in his business, he couldn't stop learning.
There are two types entrepreneur. Two types of entrepreneurs exist: those who stay busy and those with smart ideas.
People who are always busy work solely to grow their businesses. They are involved in marketing strategies, product development, customer support, and other tasks every day.
They may feel like they've accomplished something meaningful, but often they're missing the mark. Entrepreneurs who aren't focused on learning more won't see sustainable growth.
What separates successful entrepreneurs from average ones? You are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
When faced with challenges, successful entrepreneurs always look for ways to improve their existing products or services.
Average entrepreneurs, on the other hand, stick to old methods that don't work anymore. They won't change until their business is destroyed.
To be successful, you have to master both the art and skill of self-reflection.
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. By challenging assumptions. We don't grow if we don’t question. If we don't grow we stagnate. When we stagnate we make the same mistakes again and again.
Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. Nothing is permanent. Everything is in constant flux.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in the past. You can't move forward if your beliefs are fixed.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. To move forward, you must give up control.
What are the three most important lessons from history?
History is full of examples of how we can learn from our mistakes. We can apply them to today's business challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth.
The past teaches us that there is always another way to do things. There are always people out there who think outside the box and take risks that make them stand out.
History also shows that sometimes it's the underdogs who triumph. You can look back at those times when the underdog won.
Look to the past and find ways to bring the lessons forward into the future. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
These lessons will help improve your success rate.
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
Although we wish for a world where everyone learned from history, learning from our mistakes is more important than living in that ideal world.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
You might even discover that you could have done it better the first time.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. That means you've learnt a lot.
It may not always be possible to avoid making errors, but it is possible minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that your mistakes are just lessons. These are opportunities to learn.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he used each one as an opportunity to improve his design.
And over time, he invented the most popular form of lighting today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your failures. Please take advantage of them.
Then try again.

How To
What can humankind learn from the past mistakes of our ancestors?
We've been here before, we'll probably be here again. It's okay to learn from history. It might even help humanity survive another crisis.
If we keep an open mind and look for lessons to guide us forward, we may make it out alive.
The problem is when people fail to learn and refuse to recognize that humanity hasn't changed much from its beginning.
Although there is a lot to be learned from the old ways, we often ignore them as they are inconsistent with our beliefs. Instead of accepting changes that we find difficult, instead we hold on to what is familiar.
But the world continues to change and our lives are constantly evolving. Our environment is becoming increasingly complex and we have more problems to solve.
That means we have to adapt. And that makes us vulnerable to failure because we won't be able to rely on the same strategies that worked before.
When we do that, we lose sight of our values and become slaves to our habits.
Our brains are able to adapt to situations that existed thousands years ago. But those days aren't gone forever.
The future isn't written in stone. There are still many areas for improvement.
Humans are capable of doing amazing feats. Amazing technologies are possible. To explore unknown frontiers.
Yet, we are often tempted to limit ourselves. To fear evolution. To reject evolution. To believe that what worked yesterday will be the same tomorrow.
This is what some people do to combat it. They view themselves as soldiers against the status. Fighting against the establishment. Against the system.
They are rebels who pride themselves on challenging the conventions of society. They challenge society's conventions and norms.
They rebel against rules. They hate conformity. They don't care about social expectations. They believe they know more than anyone else.
These people, I wish them all good luck!
You'll need it!
Because you are facing an uphill battle. The forces that drive mainstream society are powerful.
The majority of people in many countries around the world are not interested in your views. There is little interest in your point-of-view.
It doesn't really matter how brilliant or well-intentioned you might be. Your ideas might not catch on with the masses.
Your message could fall on deaf ears. This is why you will need to learn from history.
This is where the true power lies. This is where you truly can make a difference.
This is where people can be inspired to follow their dreams. Where you can build movements that transform societies.
Let me ask you one question. Do you want your life to be lived up to others' expectations? Would you prefer to choose your own path?
