Dr. Claude Swanson is amazing. I bought his book, "The Synchronized Universe" many years ago, and have worn the pages thin from reading it so many times. One of the most fascinating books I have ever read. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys fringe science and the paranormal. He ties the two subjects together amazingly IMHO.

I watched it up to around the four minute mark when he started babbling about how consciousness and the "observer" effect things on the quantum level.
If you don't understand why this is WRONG WRONG WRONG, I suggest you study.
DISINFO AGENT ALERT "Dangerdeath" you've been added to the list of disinfo agents. Another recent member who offers no proof to back up your OPINION. I'm on to you. Loser!

These experiments demonstrate a puzzling relationship between the act of measurement and the system being measured, although it is clear from experiment that an "observer" consisting of a single electron is sufficient -- the observer need not be a conscious observer.

I tried watching it, and I only made it until the second video. He starts comparing rocks to CD's. Then he goes on to say "we made this awesome necklace where we imprinted the healing power of the universe on it so you can gain its benifits!" (or whatever), and I can't help but think... if I wear a DVD around my neck im not going to magically absorb any of the information, nor am I even going to be affected by whatever is on there. I'm having difficulty taking this man seriously, or taking what he says credibly.
It reminded me of when I went to a spiritual and alternate medicines expo and a lady was selling pictures of "auras" and when I asked her why the picture of the aura around one baby was exactly the same as a picture of an aura of another baby, (despite the fact that the second baby had actually fallen over at the moment of the photo and was only partially in the photo, yet the aura remained perfectly centered), she could only repeat several times, "Babys and animals live in a different spiritual dimension!" Its like you know all these fancy words and ideas that sound good but when you put them together it really sounds like a nonsensical sham.

An ignorant lazy pompous buffoon calling an informed intelligent person a loser, how typical of ATSIS...

Please don't insult others unless you can back up the assertion that he is indeed a loser. His statement in which you are replying to is very valid and correct, it is of no consequence of his own if you wish to make ill informed assumptions of character upon him based by your own limitations of knowledge and capacity to verify the statement. Laziness is a horrible quality, you shouldn't remain ignorant and lazy if you want to start slinging around unfounded insults.
If you still do not understand the observer effect and it's relation to quantum physics, then please look it up. There are many great tools out there on the internet that can teach you a plethora of knew knowledge and information that you may not have previously been aware of. No one will judge you for taking the initiative to actively learn new information that may or may not change your views of reality.
You came off as seemingly very angry for his honest and correct comment and his urgency that those who think otherwise need to study quantum mechanics a little more. What he stated wasn't an attack on your intelligence, so there is no real need for you to take it so personally. However, I will and am attacking your intelligence in such a nice and polite manner because your a complete tool and to see such a redneck hick response of anger as that is just absolutely ridiculous. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas sir, and a happy New Year!
