Famous nobel winning Physicist John Wheeler had this to say "The quantum process has nothing to do with counciousness." When physicists use the word "OBSERVER" they are refering to a non counsciess "MEASURING DEVICE" that collides photons against electrons. The collision destroys the exterior waves leaving only the stronger interior waves intact a particle is just the inside uncollapsble strong wave. Way to manipulate/batardize terminology to mean something else completly for your agenda.
@shankful1 I hope you don't think "What the fuck do we know down the rabbit hole" is serious stuff, most of it is bullshit, except some of the science parts, but even then, not everything is true.

the language used by the people here is very vague and flowery. I think people are trying to find religion in something which has some mystery still in it, namely quantum mechanics. quantum mechanics is difficult to grasp, but that's because its complicated, and its applications have to be consistent with theory-> a microprocessor can only exist if we know that the electron-hole theory of semiconductors is correct and tested, for example. it has little room for vague rhetoric.

It seems to me that a two dimensional conceptis imposible. Without depth there can be only nothing. Even the pixels that make up the image on your flat screen have depth. It is possible that our thoughts and dreams are two dimensional, but I doubt that also.
I am a Christian who loves this video. Christians are not (ok, should not) be intimidated by this stuff.
"And Enoch walked with God. And he was not, because God took him." Genesis 5:24 This is not new -- it is what Christians have known to be true for a long time.
I wonder if it is frustrating to scientists to "scale the heights of ignorance, only to conquer the final peak, pull themselves over the summit, and find a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." :-)
@eyeAMtwinkEE The flatlander part... what do you think the little circle's friends thought happened to her? She didn't die, she was just changed and became fundamentally different.
"What will happen to me? What will I become?"
"You'd have to become it to know."
"ohhhh.... I never knew."
"And Enoch walked with God. And he was not, because God took him." Genesis 5:24
Again, I say, this is not new -- it is what Christians have known to be true for a long time.
@dudermeister1980 But, what does God taking him have to do with her not knowing what she'll become? Maybe I'm just not the type of person that's meant for these types of things.
So basically simplified in order to find out what lies beyond this "dimension" we must leave it or "die or kill ourselves" in order to become part of it my only problem with that is well fear of the unknown however if there was a way to send something through the chalk board and have it return with a marker on it from its point of orgin then maybe i would make the Quantum leap until that happens I will stay in the 2d world
Quantim physics says that individual electrons created together are connected no matter how far apart they are.
Applying this idea to thoughts and human experience is incompatible. Reductionist principals don't translate to minds in that way.
What is more likely is that our minds are bounded, and we wish they were not, so we look for rationalisations to enjoy the idea we are more powerful than we are.
The electron does not behave differently because it knows someone is observing it. It's called the observer effect and it's due to the limitations of trying to measure the position of a particle.
What The Bleep Do We Know? Mixes a little bit of real science with a lot of new age pseudoscience crap and misleads the public about what science really is.
theoritcal physics shows what was once deemed far fetched and illogical at the time can be proved when we can design equipment to detect it,what you think of today as pseudoscience can quite quickly become the standard model, science is full of people with eggs on there face,so keep an open mind,and don,t dismiss a theory on the basis it can,t be proved yet,because we can,t design equipment to detect something does not mean it doesn,t exist
Some bizarre claims in science do turn out to be true. That does not mean that every bizarre claim is justified. When there is evidence that electrons and photons are conscious, then it is justified to present that there is, not before. Some of the physicists who were interviewed in this movie wrote in protest after it was released, that its misleading to viewers. Dr. David Albert complained that it misrepresented what he was saying to imply that quantum phys is linked to concsiousnes
@gibbytravis you say its okay to present a theory only when its justified,i gather thats not how you meant the statement to come across,present as many theories as possible then dismiss when proven otherwise,its the only way to progress surely,otherwise we,re held back in thinking by the equipment we can design
No, actually what I said is that when there is evidence that electrons and photons are conscious, then it is justified to present that there is. This film presents as evidence that electrons are conscious, that which is nothing of the sort. A physicist will tell you that the observer effect has everything to do with our ability to build a device that can detect an electron without effecting it's behavior. It has nothing to do with electrons "knowing" that we are watching them.
When the actual scientists who were interviewed in the film say it's B.S. You don't need to be an expert to know that it's pseudoscience, you just need common sense my friend.
@gibbytravis You have no idea what you're talking about. At what point in the film is a scientist quoted as saying that quantum physics is, "B.S."?The closest you will get to finding the scientists saying anything like that is when they explain how the science of quantum physics was born in the human mind. It went something like - a crazy made up way for those scientists to understand what's going on around them - The fact that it deals with probability does not diminish its validity. It is real
"According to a Popular Science article, he is "outraged at the final product." [1] The article states that Albert granted the filmmakers a near-four hour interview about quantum mechanics being unrelated to consciousness or spirituality. His interview was then edited and incorporated into the film in a way that misrepresented his views. In the article, Albert also expresses his feelings of gullibility after having been "taken" by the filmmakers. "
Also look up Wikipedia: What The Bleep do We Know?
"Scientists who have reviewed What the Bleep Do We Know!? have described distinct assertions made in the film as pseudoscience.[14] Amongst the assertions in the film that have been challenged are that water molecules can be influenced by thought (as popularized by Masaru Emoto),[3] that meditation can reduce violent crime rates,[15] and that quantum physics implies that 'consciousness is the ground of all being"
@gibbytravis I'm not going to claim that anything you're saying is wrong or right, but I will say this - it has been my experience, both of myself and of others, that the harder one tries to defend a thing, the more likely it is that the opposing or differing view of that thing is a threat to their belief system or way of viewing reality. If you can prove it to yourself, beyond all measure of doubt, be secure in that belief. But always be willing to return to first premises, if necessary.
Sorry Tommy, I don't understand your point at all. People can believe whatever nonsense they want. But when they claim that those beliefs are supported by science, they need to justify that claim. Is that a fair statement?
@gibbytravis It's a fair statement, sure, but nobody NEEDS to do anything. If people want to believe pink elephants fly out of the sky and take them to candy land, who cares, so long as they aren't hurting anyone? I know, I know, that leads to Christians (for example) demanding that "intelligent design" be taught alongside (or instead of) evolution theory. But no matter how much science you push at them, they'll find wish-washy arguments. You can't force people to use logic.
Pseudoscience does do harm. It misleads people about what counts as science and what does not. It convinces people to spend their money one treatments that do not work or ones that are even dangerous. When the public doesn't understand the difference between science and pseudoscience it can have bad consequences when it comes to expert testimony in legal cases, and as you already mentioned it can effect the curriculum taught in schools.
@gibbytravis Fair enough. But shouldn't the argument then hinge on personal responsibility? I think it should be taught from a very early age to not believe ANYTHING you read just because it was written down. That seems to be glossed over in most people's education. All the science in the world isn't going to stop people from buying into false claims. McDonalds claims to have healthy food options. Do you believe it? I don't. Even their "healthy" choices are hyper-processed junk.
Respond to this video... People are free to say what they believe, just as I am free to say that I think they're . However when people say that their belief is supported by science, I expect them to justify that and I think you should too.
@gibbytravis Maybe I can't describe my position thoroughly to you. I am a strong believer in science, but I also believe that science cannot necessarily explain everything. There are some domains in which science has no business making comment (like philosophy). In a case like this video, two domains are crossing over, and throwing ideas around. If you're a reductionist, you're going to believe in a "smallest possible particle". I don't buy that. So maybe our ideas are incompatible.
"but I also believe that science cannot necessarily explain everything."
Who said it can?
"There are some domains in which science has no business making comment (like philosophy)."
Sure, but in that case you can't have it both ways. If you say that what you are claiming is outside the realm of science, then you can't then turn around and say that it is supported by science.
@gibbytravis My point is that ideas are only as dangerous as the public that is willing to accept them. If we teach our children to be discerning, reasonable, and skeptical, instead of training them to be good workers than don;t question the status quo, I think some of these problems will go away.
@gibbytravis .. This argument sounds like it comes from a high school student. Quantum science is not "made-up"... Look at the Coppenhagen interpretation of the double-slit experiment. 80% of quantum physicists believe in that... What does that say... Go call them out, and tell the entire scientific world they full of it.
@gibbytravis Yes, and I am telling you that science (if you can understand it above a high school lvl) may seem this crazy to someone who cannot comprehend like yourself. Any "actual scientist" would not react to the movie by saying it has "pseudoscience crap". Again (if you can read), check out the coppenhagen interpretation of the double slit experiment and then tell the 80% of quantum physicists who accept that that they are "pseudoscience crap" . It is not for weak minds.
Did I say anything about the Copenhagen interpretation? Do you think that the Copenhagen interpretation says that photons are conscious or are you trying to put words in people's mouths?
Since you seem to prefer relying on straw-man arguments rather than responding to those scientists that I actually quoted I will quote them again.
@RichLOAguy The American Chemical Society called this film, "pseudoscientific docudrama."..."Among the more outlandish assertions are that people can travel backward in time, and that matter is actually thought." 2005-01-13
"the movie gradually moves to quantum 'insights' that lead a woman to toss away her antidepressant medication, to the quantum channeling of Ramtha, the 35,000-year-old Lemurian warrior, and on to even greater nonsense."... "Most laypeople cannot tell where the quantum physics ends and the quantum nonsense begins, and many are susceptible to being misguided" - Teaching Mysteries vs. Pseudoscience from Physics Today. Nov 2006
Physicist David Albert who actually is in the film says that his interview was misconstrued to imply that he believes that quantum physics is linked to consciousness and says that he is:
"profoundly unsympathetic to attempts at linking quantum mechanics with consciousness." -Bleep of Faith 2006
@RichLOAguy "The observer effect of quantum physics isn't about people or reality. It comes from the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and it's about the limitations of trying to measure the position and momentum of subatomic particles" Bernie Hobbs ABC Science Online.
Simon Singh called some of the claims in this film pseudoscience and referred to them as "ridiculous balderdash"
@gibbytravis Yeah, the act of shooting a proton of light in order to observe the action of the electron, disrupts the electron, but without the proton, we cannot observe.
@gibbytravis Do you feel there is anything to gain by the point made by the film? I would hate to think I sat through it all for nothing. Does quantum bring us closer to unity with the religion? Just wondering. Thanks.
@fibbsabaddy I honestly don't see what quantum physics has to do with religion. I suppose that people take from it usually depends on what they believe already.
@gibbytravis I'm surprised you don't see any religious implications. It seems to make a lot of religious phenomena plausible. Just two days ago I would've said smth agnostically correct, but thought that it's all crap.
And referring to your top rated comment above, I don't get where you're coming from with the electron "knowing" or "not knowing". If the observer effect makes the particle choose just one of it's potential positions, we create the world within our sphere of perception, right?
@tuoz1 " It seems to make a lot of religious phenomena plausible." What does? The observer effect, or quantum physics in general? and plz explain why. I'm not a physicist but I can tell you that surveys show that physicists are less likely than the general population to believe in a personal god, which would seem to refute what your saying. The ones who understand quantum physics the best are LESS likely to be religious than the rest of us, not more.
@gibbytravis As an theoretical physicist, I do believe there is a god. My belief in a god is personal, so I do not follow any religions. It's just that.. the more I learn about the universe, the more I question the idea that everything is random.
@gibbytravis I'm not talking about god, but based on the tiny bit that I've looked in to quantum physics, it seems plausible we have many alternate realities theoretically within reach. Maybe one's mind can be in contact with those under some circumstances.
@stalkingcat123 In order to detect the electron they a photon off of it. The problem is that you can not bounce a photon off of an electron without affecting it's behavior. Richard Feynman talks about the phenomena in his book Six Easy Pieces. It's a great book and far more interesting than the bits and pieces I've seen of What The Bleep Do We Know?"
@gibbytravis I love how once like three mainstream scientists agree on it and measure it with some corporate-touched glorified magnifying glass, something becomes "real science" whereas otherwise it's "pseudoscience crap". That "real logic" speaks on its own.
@jaredroussel Claims become real science when there is empirical evidence to support them. We don't get to make any claim that we want and expect it to be considered science.
@gibbytravis That said, ultimately I'm glad you said what you said about the first part: the "electron behaving differently because merely it's being observed" is total garbage. I can't believe anyone even thinks that and doesn't look to their own faulty equipment and conscious oscillation (experiential reality) before making such a blanket assertion. Science on Earth sure does not have a track record for making any sense.
I'm making short comedy skit videos and am partial towards physics and math humor. I'm going around to popular physics/math videos promoting to try to find a crowd that can understand the jokes. If you have some time please check out my channel and the video subatomic particle party. Thanks for your time.
a propos flatland, even Albert Einstein had already said: It is absolutely possible that beyond the perception of our senses, unknown worlds are buried for us.
stop perverting quantum mechanics into your self-help nonsense, look if you want to think happy thoughts go for it, but please don't be so silly that you think it you can manifest physical things through your thoughts.
Interesting, most negative comments, if not all, are posted out of fear. Yell, scream, cry or swear...that still doesn't present a viable argument. It only says that you do not know and that you fear what you do not know. Dr. Wolf does know his physics, is a quantum physicist, and can present information to you in that format, also. In video such as these, he wants to first explain in terms that most people know. For starters, how many do you think understand integral calculus?
My mind is full of fuck, I think about this TYPE of shit sometimes, but this just gave me a new perspective on some shit, a new way to think about things, and I don't know if I really want to move forward with it, or up, down, left right. Extreme intelligence and complete insanity are two sides of the same coin.
look this video up on wikipedia. It has some very discrediting facts about the video. It also has quotes about it from very intelligent and famous scientists. Richard dawkins called this video pseudoscience. I bet I will get hate mail now from the people that think its fun to believe in pseudoscience
i like classical mechanics, Quantum Physics is a mistake in the road of science,
Time is linear, and there is only one way to go, if you take the wrong path..... then you make things that don't make sense.... and concluded that everything can make sense...... No, i advise you to back up and start allover and take the right path to science, this is quantum jaga..... I don't believe in Quantum Physics, it's a mistake, made by an earlear mistake, remember.. look into the past, it is real, not gone
@Mu5clehead Thank you for making my point, as evidently you are so superior you even know what a total stranger earns... oops, wait a minute, you're incorrect, my privately owned business earned 4.1mil last year so it appears you only imagine (fantasize?) that you know everything. Need some packing tape to shore up that leaky box, "MUSCLEHEAD"? - What could be more appropriate than THAT username...
If you actually made 4.1 million last year. You've just earned my respect.
Dont be fooled by a user-name's display name. It's only a word.
The only reason why I have that name is 'cause me and my colleges are passionate medical/fitness enthusiasts of the Russian State Medical University Sports Council.
Good Luck on that business, broski. I respect for all people who know how to make money rather than complain like an uneducated fool.
@YouHateTruth Sir, money isnt everything. But you need money to live life unless you're creative enough to have fun without it but sadly not all of use are like that.
And you should respect the fact that rich people are the ones who are keeping the country alive, not the poor.
@Mu5clehead BTW you should appreciate the fact people like me served in the military so you can actually be alive. Just sayin', since you wanted to play that card.
@YouHateTruth Not to dog you for service,as I'm sure you had the noblest of intentions, but the only people that have benefited from your service are Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Halliburton and a handful of other corporations that make up the military industrial complex. This is their war, they are the only ones who have gained anything from it, and they have profited quite heavily. Meanwhile we the people have seen our rights destroyed and found ourselves less free than we have ever been
@YouHateTruth Money is only worth that which is done with it. In this case people are employed and lives are made better.
Since you believe this worthless, I guess you're the one hating truth, in which case you must love lies, so allow me to gift one to you; You are a truly insightful and honorable person who must love yourself greatly, and those who know you best would want to be you.
@KTK401 lol i appreciate the advice, but unless you're snorting copious amounts of lsd or eating a couple of ounces of 'special' mushrooms there won't be any psychosis/ psychotic episodes goin on in anyone's brains =P...your cup of coffee in the morning 'messes up' your brain chemistry too if you want to look at it that way...but i do see what you mean of course...
@bananapooptime Well it;s well established by medical science that long term drug use (and even in some cases with short term use!) can lead to psychotic episodes.
@KTK401 ok, long term/regular of use LSD and strong hallucinogens of the like can trigger schizophrenia and seriously damage your mind...nowwww, please don't make me lose respect for you by making it seem like you buy into the 'reefer' propaganda that's been used to completely mislead the public on the issue of marijuana...
@KTK401 good point xD! but i would like to keep discussing this because it frustrates me how mislead people are about this topic...can you give me the sources that show that marijuana use (long-term or not) can lead to psychotic episodes?? and let's not forget the diathesis-stress model...
@KTK401 part 1- being that the definition of psychosis is an experience in which reality is distorted and the marijuana high itself is made up of symptoms that collectively distort perception it would go without saying that marijuana use 'can lead to psychotic episodes'; you are using the intended effects of it to argue against it, which invalidates your argument because you are assuming that those effects are undesired when in fact they are pleasant and n...
@KTK401 Part 1- You have yet to show me a single case that supports your argument, and also have not mentioned any study that 'proves' anything about marijuana causing paranoia...and no, cars are not necessary today, they are simply a better alternative to the other options for transportation (cars have not always been around you know, and civiliz...
@KTK401 Part 2- ...ation has been around for quite some time now; much like marijuana which is not a necessity but is a better alternative to the other option which is prohibition...the very attitude you exhibit is exactly what government propaganda in the 60s was designed to create (for the purpose of corporate greed), and it was done so using racism and bigotry as tools.
@KTK401 i do have to respectfully disagree with you. it seems that all the symptoms u describe are only enhanced by marijuana (perhaps enhanced GREATLY, but still not actually caused by it)... in fact it seems that they are caused partly by the same people who want u to hate the marijuana thats supposedly causing them. which is partly due to the fact that they want u to take THIER drugs and not one that u can grow endlessly in a closet after an investment of less than $100 that cant be taxed :-)
@ClumsyRoot No dispute there. So that's why most people engage in fun things like sports and thousands of other recreational activities that strengthen both the body & the mind, as well as the spirit.
A person who was a pretty boring life (and doesn't want to do the above) is the one who wants to dabble with drugs!
@KTK401 part 2- ...ot at all detrimental...the paranoia argument is equally invalid as it places the blame for paranoid behavior on the drug itself which in no way causes it, it is parallel to blaming guns for gunshot victims; part of marijuana's effect is to stimulate rapid though processes which will enhance a nervous mental state (the person's own anxiety is not indu...
@KTK401 part 3- ...ced my the high)...and depression?? please, that's not even a complete statement, that's like me saying that cars lead to deaths (technically they do, don't they??); should we leave them alone/keep them at a minimum as well??
@bananapooptime or meditation or sensory deprivation which can induce hallucinations naturally for those who don't want to do what is labeled under the so stigmatized "drugs" genre... But Terrence McKenna did say it best when he basically said why not take the shortcut to higher consciousness provided to us as a gift from earth? :)
@TheDuneMan92 Like I've explained to previous commentors, I am not claiming that anything is impossible. Telepathy, telekinesis, etc may be very real. However, you cannot explain such things with modern quantum theory because the mathematics of the theory don't predict such outcomes. Now, the theory may be wrong, but the people in this video are assuming the theory is right, and that makes them beholden to its conclusions. Thus, they are incorrectly applying a theory they don't understand.
love the work here

"And Enoch walked with God. And he was not, because God took him." Genesis 5:24 This is not new -- it is what Christians have known to be true for a long time.
I wonder if it is frustrating to scientists to "scale the heights of ignorance, only to conquer the final peak, pull themselves over the summit, and find a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." :-)

So basically simplified in order to find out what lies beyond this "dimension" we must leave it or "die or kill ourselves" in order to become part of it my only problem with that is well fear of the unknown however if there was a way to send something through the chalk board and have it return with a marker on it from its point of orgin then maybe i would make the Quantum leap until that happens I will stay in the 2d world

Quantim physics says that individual electrons created together are connected no matter how far apart they are.
Applying this idea to thoughts and human experience is incompatible. Reductionist principals don't translate to minds in that way.
What is more likely is that our minds are bounded, and we wish they were not, so we look for rationalisations to enjoy the idea we are more powerful than we are.
Good luck.

The electron does not behave differently because it knows someone is observing it. It's called the observer effect and it's due to the limitations of trying to measure the position of a particle.

theoritcal physics shows what was once deemed far fetched and illogical at the time can be proved when we can design equipment to detect it,what you think of today as pseudoscience can quite quickly become the standard model, science is full of people with eggs on there face,so keep an open mind,and don,t dismiss a theory on the basis it can,t be proved yet,because we can,t design equipment to detect something does not mean it doesn,t exist

Some bizarre claims in science do turn out to be true. That does not mean that every bizarre claim is justified. When there is evidence that electrons and photons are conscious, then it is justified to present that there is, not before. Some of the physicists who were interviewed in this movie wrote in protest after it was released, that its misleading to viewers. Dr. David Albert complained that it misrepresented what he was saying to imply that quantum phys is linked to concsiousnes

@gibbytravis you say its okay to present a theory only when its justified,i gather thats not how you meant the statement to come across,present as many theories as possible then dismiss when proven otherwise,its the only way to progress surely,otherwise we,re held back in thinking by the equipment we can design
FISHDINHO 8 months ago
@FISHDINHO
No, actually what I said is that when there is evidence that electrons and photons are conscious, then it is justified to present that there is. This film presents as evidence that electrons are conscious, that which is nothing of the sort. A physicist will tell you that the observer effect has everything to do with our ability to build a device that can detect an electron without effecting it's behavior. It has nothing to do with electrons "knowing" that we are watching them.

"According to a Popular Science article, he is "outraged at the final product." [1] The article states that Albert granted the filmmakers a near-four hour interview about quantum mechanics being unrelated to consciousness or spirituality. His interview was then edited and incorporated into the film in a way that misrepresented his views. In the article, Albert also expresses his feelings of gullibility after having been "taken" by the filmmakers. "

@gibbytravis I'm not going to claim that anything you're saying is wrong or right, but I will say this - it has been my experience, both of myself and of others, that the harder one tries to defend a thing, the more likely it is that the opposing or differing view of that thing is a threat to their belief system or way of viewing reality. If you can prove it to yourself, beyond all measure of doubt, be secure in that belief. But always be willing to return to first premises, if necessary.

@gibbytravis It's a fair statement, sure, but nobody NEEDS to do anything. If people want to believe pink elephants fly out of the sky and take them to candy land, who cares, so long as they aren't hurting anyone? I know, I know, that leads to Christians (for example) demanding that "intelligent design" be taught alongside (or instead of) evolution theory. But no matter how much science you push at them, they'll find wish-washy arguments. You can't force people to use logic.

Pseudoscience does do harm. It misleads people about what counts as science and what does not. It convinces people to spend their money one treatments that do not work or ones that are even dangerous. When the public doesn't understand the difference between science and pseudoscience it can have bad consequences when it comes to expert testimony in legal cases, and as you already mentioned it can effect the curriculum taught in schools.

@gibbytravis Fair enough. But shouldn't the argument then hinge on personal responsibility? I think it should be taught from a very early age to not believe ANYTHING you read just because it was written down. That seems to be glossed over in most people's education. All the science in the world isn't going to stop people from buying into false claims. McDonalds claims to have healthy food options. Do you believe it? I don't. Even their "healthy" choices are hyper-processed junk.

@gibbytravis Maybe I can't describe my position thoroughly to you. I am a strong believer in science, but I also believe that science cannot necessarily explain everything. There are some domains in which science has no business making comment (like philosophy). In a case like this video, two domains are crossing over, and throwing ideas around. If you're a reductionist, you're going to believe in a "smallest possible particle". I don't buy that. So maybe our ideas are incompatible.

A person who limits himself to only those activities that are "necessary" and "good for him" is guaranteed to have a pretty boring life.

@ClumsyRoot No dispute there. So that's why most people engage in fun things like sports and thousands of other recreational activities that strengthen both the body & the mind, as well as the spirit.
A person who was a pretty boring life (and doesn't want to do the above) is the one who wants to dabble with drugs!

@bananapooptime or meditation or sensory deprivation which can induce hallucinations naturally for those who don't want to do what is labeled under the so stigmatized "drugs" genre...

@TheDuneMan92 Like I've explained to previous commentors, I am not claiming that anything is impossible. Telepathy, telekinesis, etc may be very real. However, you cannot explain such things with modern quantum theory because the mathematics of the theory don't predict such outcomes. Now, the theory may be wrong, but the people in this video are assuming the theory is right, and that makes them beholden to its conclusions. Thus, they are incorrectly applying a theory they don't understand.
