That movie is by far the worst source of information on quantum physics I've seen in my life.

Dude, don't you get it? I'm done discussing this issue with you.

Our entire body, our entire nervous system is basically one giant electrical circuit. You have to be able to develop a stable electomagnetic field in order to reach higher states of consciousness.
There's no validity in that statement at all. The nervous system is not strictly electrical, it's electrochemical, never forget that. Higher state of consciousness just means having better control over your mind and will. You don't reach some amazing enlightenment and knowledge or any of the other new age concept associated with higher consciousness.
Your a damn troll, please, give it a rest.
That wasn't in reply to you. OK, now I'm done with just saying anything to you from here on out in this thread. Have a good one!

That's the message.
Well posting the video's where more or less to prove a point, since you ignored my last question in regards to senses and the mind being deceived.
It almost doesn't matter what is put in front of us, facts, information, findings, because they are all subjective, nothing is fact, since the mind and five senses can be deceived.
Our minds and five senses can be deceived period, so what is left?

Something to ponder since quantum physics has been applied to this argument.
Electrons act differently when observed.

A Double-Slit Quantum Eraser Experiment
grad.physics.sunysb.edu...
"This experiment uses the phenomena of interference, produced by light incident on a double slit, to investigate the quantum mechanical principle of complementarity between the wave and particle characteristics of light. Using a special state of light, Walborn and his coworkers created an interference pattern, made a "which-way" measurement which destroyed the interference, and then erased the "which-way" marker, bringing the interference back. This experiment clearly displays the way in which nature is counterintuitive on the quantum scale and makes it clear that our ways of thinking based on our everyday experiences in the classical world are often completely inadequate to understand the quantum world."
Delayed Erasure
"Next the erasure measurement is performed. Before photon p can encounter the polarizer, s will be detected. Yet it is found that the interference pattern is still restored. It seems photon s knows the "which-way" marker has been erased and that the interference behavior should be present again, without a secret signal from photon p. "

The point is that deleting information influenced the results of an experiment.
If you understand what information is you will understand it means a consciousness observer is a factor.

No information is deleted in the experiment.

It's superstitious garbage and propaganda trying to push a spiritualist everything is connected message.
All matter is made of atoms. The simplest atom is the atom of Hydrogen which consists of a proton (+ positively charged) and an electron (- negatively charged) orbiting around the nucleus. 75% of matter in the universe consists of Hydrogen and the rest is made of Helium which is in the stars such as our sun where nuclear fusion (deuterium and tritium fuse to form Helium and Energy) takes place resulting in release of energy (heat and light). The physicists have determined accurately the mass, charge, spin, etc of the proton and the electron. The diameter of the proton, the distance between the proton and the electron has also been precisely determined. The proton to electron mass ratio is 1837. That is one proton is equal to 1837 electrons. Why the ratio is 1837 and not 1500 or 2000? The answer will give you the existence of God. When the hydrogen found on any planet in the solar system or in our sun is analyzed, we find it to be identical to
that found on the earth. Our sun is one of the 200 billion stars in our Galaxy called the Milky Way Galaxy. The
hydrogen in any star in the Milky Way Galaxy is identical to that found on earth. There are about 200 billion Galaxies
in the Universe. The nearest Galaxy is the Andromeda Galaxy. The properties of Hydrogen in any Galaxy are identical
to that found on Earth.
Not sure what you mean by "directly physical role".
But the point is this.
The existence of information influences the results of the experiment.
Why does this mean consciousness is a factor?
Because of what raw data really is.
Information is not physically related to what it describes.
Information is fundamentally abstract.
Information is only meaningful to consciousness that can decode the message.
So you take this combined with the fact that information is not physically related to experimental results and you come to the conclusion that consciousness is a factor.
Raw data is nothing without consciousness to give it meaning.
