High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Reincarnation seems to have captured the imagination of many and the idea receives regular mentions in feature films, popular books, and popular music. Transmigration, although not directly referred to as such, has been used frequently to the point of cliche in the sense of people "switching bodies," in which the identities of two or more characters transmigrate to each others bodies. This concept has been used many times in various films, most obviously Vice Versa and Freaky Friday, and in the popular television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Thomas Huxley, the famous English biologist, thought that reincarnation was a plausible idea and discussed it in his book Evolution and Ethics and other Essays. Irish poet and Nobel Laureate William Butler Yeats proposed a novel theory in A Vision, according to which rebirth does not occur within a framework of linear time. Hermann Hesse, Literary Nobel Prize, 1946, expressed a viewpoint of "...reincarnation as a mode of expression for stability in the midst of flux." Henry Ford was convinced he had lived before, most recently as a soldier killed at the battle of Gettysburg.
