Hello all!
I heard an apocryphal(?) story about the Titanic, and I wasn't sure whether or not it was true, or where I could find any documentation of it. The gist of it was that one of the passengers turned out the light in her room just as the Titanic struck the iceberg - forever after that moment, she was convinced that she had *caused* the ship to strike the iceberg by flipping the light switch. I've seen the example used in order to illustrate a logical fallacy, but I didn't know if it was real or not. Does anyone know if there's any proof out there of this having happened? Best, echo |
