    Bobby,
    We are deep in the weeds here. Very interesting. I may need to reread your post a few more times. Your last sentence about entanglement suggests consciousness etc. rings true. Fascinating. The Universe is alive and conscious. That's a good one.

    Hi Beth,

    If you watched the video, something extraordinary happens at the end. Downright spooky! The electrons in the experiment change their behavior almost as if they were conscious of being watched. It's a mind-blowing phenomenon that opens up a whole new world different from what you previously thought it was. Stay well, John.

    I did watch it, John. Interesting and spooky!

    Have you seen The Matrix movies? They seem to be about living inside a computer simulation. An individual appearing in multiple planes...And they are several years old.
    I have read a bit about dark matter that I didn't even know existed to that extent in space.
    And don't get us started on black holes!:eek:

    You bring up brain WAVES. If they can be quantified and measured, maybe that is what influences in your slits experiments, following wave theory.

    The thing is, a brain wave is an electrical impulse and is measured using an EEG (electroencephalograph ) machine. Consciousness and thought are the two areas of study that can’t be readily quantified thus far.

    Now, in regard to those electrical impulses, thoughts and consciousness, here’s some of Dr. Emoto’s experiments that will blow a mental fuse or two.

    It is not the presence of the conscious observer that collapses the wavefunction, it’s the action they perform on the system that causes the wavefunction to collapse. It is also vital to note that these are the results that are obtained whether researchers are present as the experiment is conducted or they have retreated to the bar.

    Quantum physics is not physics at all and doesn't discredit science, math, or even a belief in God, it actually strengthens it. One needs to understand Fermat’s last theorem, his statement that there are no natural numbers (1, 2, 3,…) x, y, and z such that xn + yn = zn, in which n is a natural number greater than 2. For example, if n = 3, Fermat’s last theorem states that no natural numbers x, y, and z exist such that x3 + y3 = z3 (i.e., the sum of two cubes is not a cube).

    Understand that the solution to Fermat's theorem is that there is no solution. It is the same as understanding the universe having no beginning and no end. It is forever with no time or distance restraints. What is beyond nothing in space, more nothing, or something our human minds cannot grasp? Think about it too long and one may become insane, start a new religion, or becomes a quantum physics guru, perhaps both or all three. :D:D:D

    Enter the likes of Euler who proved Fermat’s little theorem as incorrect. Alas, even Euler died of a brain hemorrhage. Sad. He might have saved some mathematicians a lot of work attempting to proof Fermat’s last theorem for the last 300 or so years.
    (where the heck was Ramanujan?)

    The thing about quantum physics is that it allows us to see the unimaginable before the unimaginable is discovered and in other instances, like the double slit experiment, the maths explain that which is seen but can’t be logically defined.
    Example: The Tau Neutrino is one that always fascinated me because it was mathematically introduced as a viable and active particle before it was actually discovered by capturing it in a pond of water….in a cave. Go figure.

    Still, when we ponder the answers to “why” it becomes evident that much of what we seek has no reasonable nor provable answer…..yet.

    My head was already exploding as I was watching a youtube on the Webb Telescope this morning. Forgive me for not being able to remember the exact scripture but Jesus was chuckling at one of the desciples when he was amazed(?) at all we could see in the world. indicating that what is here is just a scratch on the surface of existence.

    Euler did not prove Fermat inncorrect. Euler's conjecture was proven incorrect in 1966 by a couple of scientists using computers. It was 1993 before a guy named Wiles was credited for solving Fermat's theorem. First, he proved as my dad did 40 years earlier, and several after him, that the theorem was unsolvable using positive integers. The answer using math was that there was no solution. While using traditional math that statement still stands, Wiles solved the theorem using modularity conjecture for semistable elliptic curves.

    The double split experiment was done in the early 1800s and was based on particles in space having wavelengths and how the human brain controls particle movement outside of the human body. Such an idea has been used in quantum physics trying to establish that things like our health are based on frequencies and illnesses can be diagnosed with tuning forks. Things like music is detrimental to our health if based on 440 Hz while 432 Hz is healthy. They suppose the earth is based on 8 Hz and every living thing responds best to multiples of that frequency. All total nonsense in my opinion and all the elaborate geometric designs prove nothing. Such ideas lead to free energy nonsense and powering your house off the air.

    The first person that discovers how the human mind can control particles moving in space, will rule the world.

    I did not know about the Matrix movies connection to computer simulation. I haven't seen a Matrix movie in years, but I now intend to watch the latest one in the near future. Thanks, Mary for the heads-up.

    Okay, I won't get into black holes. However, one interesting hypothesis is that all the stuff that gets sucked into a black hole is ejected out of the other end into another universe by a white hole.

    I really hate googling stuff but it did take me a minute to find a small link that you might enjoy which also establishes my earlier contention.

    https://www.ms.uky.edu/~corso/teaching/math330/EulerFermat.pdf

    Now, to be sure, I didn’t bring up Fermat to begin with but since you did, I decided to add a little flavor to your own contention that there is no solution when in fact, at some point, there always is.
    Philosophically speaking, the mere saying that there is no solution is in itself a solution.

    Boy, do I ever like your Emoto upload! Thank you very much because I did blow a couple of fuses watching and rewatching the video. I am still sitting here in shock at the huge implications of his work. Once again, consciousness seems to be the glue that is holding everything together. If our positive and negative thoughts can change the appearance of water crystals into beautiful or ugly shapes, what does this mean about the possible effect of our thoughts and emotions on the blood flowing through our bodies. I wonder if anybody has researched the Emoto effect in this area.

    The fact that even music can change the crystal shapes initially confused me because music does not have consciousness, but then I realized that Emoto was hearing the music and his thoughts probably shaped the crystals. Same conclusion for words and pictures.

    I intend to read everything I can find about Emoto and the latest research by others. This is HUGE! It is like the slit experiment because it shows us another face of reality. Thanks again Bobby for a great post!
