Things are not what they seem

There are a couple of phenomena that are in principle impossible. These are:

time, space and gravity are one complex thing I do not understand. Space is not straight, it bends and I think it bends stronger when there is more gravity. Time goes differently in differently places. A geostationary satelite has a compensation for the fact that 36.000 km above the earth, time has a different pace than here on earth.
  • plants can learn. In principle impossible because plants do not have nerve cells, a spine, a brain; things we consider necessary for learning. However the Monica Gagliano experiment on mimosa pudica in a lift that suddenly bumps, shows that plants do learn

All things that seem very strange to us and that are for me an argument to dare to be open that things are actually different. I think and hope I will be surprised in a nice way when my body has died.
