Anmutige Tänzer, Meister der Tarnung und romantische Liebende, doch auch schwerhörige Vielfraße, launische Griesgrame und langsame Faulpelze: All das und mehr sind Seepferdchen. Man findet die kleinen Fische nicht nur in Seegras­wiesen und Mangrovenwäldern, sondern ebenso im Schachspiel und in griechischen Sagen - und wie kommen sie eigentlich auf Kinderbadeanzüge, Geldmünzen und Toilettenschüsseln aus dem alten Rom? Was macht sie trotz ihrer Trägheit zu erstklassigen Jägern, warum ist ein Hirnareal nach ihnen benannt, wie können sie uns helfen, besser zu schlafen, und sogar die Robotik inspirieren? Unterhaltsam und informativ erzählt Till Hein von kuriosen Erkenntnissen der aktuellen Forschung, geht Mythen auf den Grund und lüftet so Geheimnisse über die verrückten Pferde der See.

With a psychotic father, an alcoholic mother, an abusive stepfather, and two so-called learning disabilities of his own, Ned was accustomed to unpredictable behaviour from those around him and to a mind he felt he couldn't always control.

Quantum Mechanics is a strange but fundamental part of modern physics and we see the results of this theory with technology used in our daily lives. Quantum effects may also help to explain our consciousness and spiritual (paranormal) abilities. Quantum effects also lead to some very strange phenomena which seem impossible at first glance. I use the experiential knowledge from my prophecies and the research I’ve done on the paranormal to show potential links to quantum effects. The human ability to teleport psychically is one possible connection.
