A famous police officer was once asked how he was able to crack several murder cases that appeared almost impossible to solve with the limited evidence available. To everyone's surprise he replied that he himself does not know how as he often relies on his hunches and intuition for cases that cannot be solved through straightforward methods and plain logic. Throughout history, and in every country, many police officers have solved countless unsolvable criminal cases using intuition, and none of them can explain how. A dictionary defines intuition in many ways like, "The act or faculty of knowing or sensing without the use of rational processes, a sense of something not evident or deducible, an instinctive knowing, a power beyond the five human …show more content…

Friedrich Kekule worked for years to discover the atomic structure of benzene without success. One night he dreamed of many snakes circling together. They finally formed into a ring of six snakes chasing each others' tails. When he awoke he correctly interpreted the snake hexagon as the elusive structure of the benzene ring. The snake seizing its own tail gave Kekule the circular structure idea he needed to solve the Benzene problem. Similarly there are thousands of such documented examples of intuition giving us answers. For example, there are cases on record of people who have dreamed of disasters such as the Chernobyl nuclear accident or kings getting assassinated months in
