video.google.com— This experiment shows the really mysterious behavior of quantam particles. Electrons behaving like waves and then like marbles? Mind blowingly cool.

This question is directed to anyone who has actually witnessed the double slit experiment or knows someone who has: Does the measuring technique(s) used physically impact the electrons or not? If the measuring technique DOES demonstratively impact the electron, then where is the mystery?
You have this all wrong. It is NOT a propaganda video to promote a cult. Good grief. The movie doesn't even reference Ramtha until the credits, and it ONLY references as a credit, not as a promotion. The movie is CLEARLY an exploration in laymen's terms of cutting-edge quantum physics as it relates to metaphysics and our experience of "reality" and that's all. The information presented has been a part of science for many, many years and I don't care if it is Christians, Buddhists, Athiests, Scientists, or those who study Ramtha who bring forth such a complicated exploration into such an easy-to-grasp film; I'm just glad SOMEONE took the time to bring this to the masses in a way that encouraged a new way of thinking and feeling about our place in our persona and shared reality.Troy
You guys are too literal in your thinking... first of all, there are TWO Versions of WHAT THE BLEEP, and some of the alterations include more animation and explanations, while other alterations include removing or editing of original interviews that were thought to be out of context. The second version was a response to the critics as a means to try to be as clear as possible, but simple people still get distracted with the easy targeting of the metaphysical implications pondered in the film.Which brings me to my next point... when the professor says that "it's almost as if the electrons are watching us," is taken completely out of context with this clip, and many are interpreting that TOO literally. His point... on a METAPHYSICAL and QUANTUM PHYSICS level, is that it is worth exploring the possibility that REALITY SHAPES ITSELF TO OUR EXPECTATIONS. That's the common denominator between metaphysics and quantum physics. From the scientific side, it has become increasingly more evident that an experiment CANNOT be observed objectively, because the expectations of the Observer is PART of the equation that yields the result of any experiment. From the metaphysical side, this supports the possibility that "you create your own reality," in that, your expecatations, beliefs, feelings, choices... all generate what you call "reality." And we all know that reality is truly subjective, with one person believing and seeing and feeling one thing while another experiences something completely, utterly different.Our experiences are the product of OUR INTERPRETATIONS, and not as products of imposition. Even in the worst of circumstances, we still get to choose how to think, how to feel, and what to do about it.Life happens FROM us, not TO us.This is far more empowering and responsible than any religion has ever offered, so don't be so quick to reject a mix of philosophy and science when they can easily encourage a freer way of thinking, even if only as a first step.Troy
There is a key flaw with physicists telling everyone electrons in the double slit experiment are being affected by mere observation. To observe an electron in motion requires a mechanism a lot more interactive with its local space than just an eyeball watching a marble. The measuring tool affects the electron. Eventually when physicists have better equipment they'll get over the presumptuous idea that electrons are bending to their will.

i SUPPOSE the method of observing the electron (the mechanism of gadget making the observing) is wrong.

YES!!TO MEASURE, YOU PHYSICALLY INTERFERE WITH THE PATTERNthe electron watching thing is bulls**t

This prove there's the Observer...or God. Christians...your move.
