One video is about entanglement, and one video is about the slit experiment. First, watch the slit experiment. I garentee you'll be saying 'Oh my god, what the fuck' at the end of this video...

Basic explaination of this vid, to grab your attention: 'An electron acts differently simply because its being watched by humans'

And this video, Isn't neccesarilly related but its also mind blowing. A random number generator is affected simply by your intended outcome. (If you want ones, you get ones.)

Youngs double slit experiment.

Hehe our class had that in our PH1 physics exam, nearly everyone failed it I didn't though.

If I was really into physics I'd say so, another topic that might interest you is Particle Acceleration/Accelerators, which essentially form new particles from protons/anti-protons etc.

Holy shit. That first video...wow.

Incredible.

Thanks for the link.

Bloody hell blew my socks off and Im a bit of a thicko who has common sence (very few people have both intelligance and common sence).

Are what they saying in the second video this : If you want to win the lottery just think really hard about it and it will increase your chance?

Yes, I learned about this years ago. Very interesting. Electrons usually don't even really exist, they are just a cloud of probability.

Well. As amazing as it seems, i think the human mind has capabilities that people don't believe. I bet if you were taught to use your mind, you can... But when your taught 'common sense' and that magic isnt real, your likely limited.

Yeah, wave particle duality. I remember learning that. Although I don't remember the bit about it behaving differently when you observed it directly. That's new to me. I forgot most of this crap, almost a year now.

Electrons don't exist as a particle occupying a specific place, they are a cloud of probability, that is, until you watch them and then the waveform collapses like in the slit experiment.

That has got to be the coolest video representation for that double slit experiment. I did not know that it behaved in a quantum way by observation or measurement. That is completely crazy. I know that the for a quantum particle, you can either determine it's speed or location; but not both. Someone correct me but I think that is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. I think this ties into that double slit experiment. Make me wonder if the measured location or speed to get the non-interference pattern.

I gotta get out of here as your all making my head hurt but as I am always willing to learn, thank you for doing so.

So humans observing matter change the way that matter acts.

That's all the proof I need:

God exists because enough people believe. Collected conscious thought creates a divine power and after life.

If human kind becomes extinct, does this god and after life vanish?
