firing one electron at a time and producing a wave pattern is an 'assumption'
where would their theory be if they fired frozen chickens through tiny slits whether observed or unobserved? i bet they didn't test that
Quantum mechanics and string theory are all well and good to read and think about, but they will not solve our problems. Maybe in the future, when scientists and other educated people figure out how to bend quantum functions to their will in a practical fashion we can do some good. But until then, common people with no backround in advanced maths shouldn't be mucking about with quantum anything or any advanced sciences. We lack the proper training to truly understand what is being discussed and tend to misinterpret what little we THINK we understand.

I am privy to certain ancient words of wisdom, bought at great price from the Oracle of Life. Out of my generosity and my well-known love for my fellow ATS members, I now share them with you, absolutely free.
They are
1. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
2. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
3. There's one born every minute.

Funny how it's just like some people that way.

does consciousness determine what is and what isn't an observer?
what's the difference between a measuring device and a natural setting? if lightning strikes and no one is around then is it a wave only?
does the measuring device from the vid have to have someone monitoring it in process for an electron to "dance"?
if particles are turned into waves by watching them wouldn't that put the electric companies out of business?

The funny thing is, what you do is no different from what you wish for.
The Universe doesn't care about what you do either.
What you "do" goes through the filter of yourself twice.
Once when you make the action (because of our limited comprehension of reality we never really know if our actions are positive towards our wants, we can only make our best guess)
And once when we observe our actions and results. (we never really know what exactly we "do" and what what we "do" does)
We ALWAYS DO whatever we want. The separation of intention and action is an illusion.

I don't know if everyone in this thread watched the first video or if the implications of it are just difficult to understand, or both.

I think of it as a spiritual flow that one can tap into, a divine wave. In no way do I feel we are gods as so many new age beliefs teach, but that we are more capable than we can imagine.
This is why I call myself a spiritual scientist. The two go hand in hand. I have tapped into it on a number of occasions but it is very hard to let go of the filters!
To be very present requires an absolute state of awareness without the human filters. It is not at all like a trance. It is a heightened awareness, almost out of body.
Prayer keeps one grounded to earth, and in ones humanness - so this state is way beyond prayer. I no longer believe in prayer but more of a conscious contact with a higher power.
It is all very interesting. Thanks for the thread!

For whatever reason, I cannot explain this what so ever, but after reading through the post and watching the videos; when I was watching the video that showed the different shapes the water took based on what was being projected towards it, I had this insane feeling come over me. It was like a pulsing chill where my whole body broke out in goosebumps and my eyes just started welling up with tears. Afterward for about 10 seconds maybe, I just felt incredibly tired.
I don't understand why that happened, but I am open to any thoughts at this point.
