famous mind experiments!

1- Alcubierre drive, Physics (imagine a spacecraft going faster than the speed of light)

2- The battle of Waterloo, History (what if it had not rained?)

3- The Ship of Theseus Identity Philosophy (are you all your parts even if all the parts have been exchanged already?)

4- The Chinese Room, A.I. (are computers smart if all they do is translate orders?)

5- Schrödinger's cat, Physics (this deals with the bizarre behavior of photons in quantum mechanics)

an so on,
