Default TEST FOR SANITY IN DIVINE ALBERT'S WORLD

Another test for sanity in Divine Albert's world:

Scientists watch a video where the speed of light is shown to vary exactly like the speed of cannonballs:

INSANE scientists start thinking about Newton's emission theory of light. Perhaps this theory is correct after all?

SANE scientists exercise themselves in crimestop and do not start thinking about Newton's emission theory of light:

"Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity."
