We think that this is because we are face 'experts,' having learned over many years to spot fine differences in upright faces, but not in inverted faces. That experience makes faces unique, but there's nothing scientifically special about faces.

We found that faces aren't special in the way many scientists once thought. Rather, they are particular group of objects which the brain has learned to distinguish very well, much as it would for any other similar objects that are critical to human survival and communication.

In much of the West, the well educated have been taught to believe that they can know nothing and that they can draw no independent conclusions about truth, unless they cite a study and "experts" have affirmed it. "Studies show" is to the modern secular college graduate what "Scripture says" is to the religious fundamentalist.

Our experts at the bomb-disposal unit are investigating what kind of explosive was used.

Many experts have incorrectly used iris and retina interchangeably to describe the biometric eye scan. Iris scans are being used today in real world applications but there are problems inherent in the technology. Because Cyclops takes only a small section of the iris data and fuses it with the retinal data the identification process is insensitive to all environmental perturbations including ambient light, making it ideal for the majority of biometric applications.

We brought in experts from all over and listened to many voices and recommendations before we decided this was the direction we wanted to go. There's the river of course and the area's roads and rails, the airport hub, early immigration... and the Underground Railroad - the new space will allow us to reflect the significance of this area through time.
