Tipsters- Obviously Ken is way out of touch. (I'm sure everyone can see the tongue in my cheek!) The rats don't have to hear the piano because, as Leibniz already showed, it is the monad level where the Mozart effect takes place. :) (Don't be fooled by the seeming contradiction of the time space continuum as that would be the same silly error). Since Monads are of the divine then they aren't limited to the laws of time and space as we can measure them so clearly the lack of replication referred to by Don isn't applicable. Obviously only those who are attuned to the correct theory can replicate this result- there must be some negative vibes coming from students who can't replicate the Mozart effect- there is clearly faith involved that is lacking in the Monads of those not replicating the finding. (I'm trying not to laugh- I have happy Monads today)! I'd refer anyone buying into the Mozart effect to Sternberg's book "Why smart people can be so stupid" or to any of the other similar regularly referenced sources on this list. Clearly some of our colleagues (this was published, no?) and parts of the public can't as yet tell the difference between pretend science (someone obeying some of the methods and going through the motions so far as it suits their needs to sell a product) and serious and well done science. And seriously, thanks to Don and Ken (and others) for taking the time to provide something closer to the truth. Tim

Add a second wee problem. Rats do not hear much of the music because
the piano note frequencies are below abolute threshold for rats.
