This article give the three marks and talks about no-self which it refers to as "egolessness".
- Free Will Opinion clip "Kwick 03:15, 11 November 2009 (UTC)"
This short clip connects the tree falling in the forest philosophy with science. I just really thought that was a thought provoking question that was asked and this video made me think harder about it.
- Movie on the tree falling in the forest "Kwick 03:15, 11 November 2009 (UTC)"

- Ship of Theseus "Kwick 03:15, 11 November 2009 (UTC)"
This youtube video has funny animation(very creative) and explains the thoughts on the ship of theseus in more detail. I also thought this was a very thought provoking question, so I found this video helpful in thinking more about it.
