and the brain-in-a-vat scenario is simply due to the fact that the experiences generated by these machines are nothing more than neural interactive simulations that are designed and controlled by humans. These machines limit society to a manmade reality where there is no deeper existence than that which can be established by human thought. Through succumbing to human invention and control‚ we relinquish all power to the machine creators. We not only surrender our bodies‚ but our minds as well. I

However‚ recent evidence suggests results from this seminal experiment are less reflecting of role conformity‚ with findings alternatively attributed to demand characteristics. This critique is constructed as further examination of SPE revealed participants were able to predetermine the experimental hypothesis

In this paper‚ we will be focusing on the interaction of a simulated oil spill with a microbial system. Focusing on both the most common areas affected by an oil spill‚ there are separate experiments for both terrestrial and marine systems. This study will have two main foci.

powerful and popular experiment of all time (O’Toole‚ K). Researches set up a mock prison in the basement of Stanford University building. There were the 24 students out of 70 volunteers chosen to play the roles of the prisoners or prison guards. The simulated prison included three six by nine-foot cells. Each cell held inmates that included three cots. There was a tiny space three that was designed to look like solitary confinement‚ and another small room to act as the prison yard. Of the 24 volunteers
