But, in the video above, a vivacious labrador named Walter takes his love of water to a whole other level, as he bounds down a hill, darts in between beachgoers and hurls himself into the waves. Plus, because he has a GoPro camera strapped to his back, we get to experience his

The so-called Holometer Experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory aims to determine whether our perception of a three-dimensional universe is just an illusion.
