Rats on cocaine prove theory about the 4th dimension.
A team of scientists looking to better understand the brain's perception of time have performed a series of unorthadox tests - one involving dropping a guy off a high structure, and another involving the intentional drugging of rats, with both weed and cocaine.
The bit where the guy is dropped off the tower is fairly compelling evidence. Whereas you could complain that he never gets the number exatcly right, you could just as easily write that off to the fact that he's falling pretty fast from a high height, and its tricky to concentrate on anything under those conditions.
I have more problems with the rat experiment. It all hinges on being able to train these rats to consistently press a button after a set interval. To me, thats a little too subjective to be indisputable evidence.... seems like the scientists were just shooting the shit one day, and decided it would be hilarious to drug some rats.
They were right.
