the world is not out there, it is but a world of possibilities (waves) that become points when you take consciousness of them.
The universe flips between wave and point as our attention turns from it and to it.
There is no "observer". It could be the "spirit".
People affect the reality that they see. (ref: 4000 meditating in washington DC reduced crime by 25%. Prooven in other studies as well.)
References Imoto's water photographs, where ice cristals are subject to thought. (I have a great deal of difficulty with this body of work). Especially because it is so compelling.
Positive thinking is rarely more than a smear of positive thought over a mass of negative thought.
I choose my experience, I choose my own reality.

- Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and it's about the limitations of trying to measure the position and momentum of subatomic particles... this only applies to sub-atomic particles - a rock doesn't need you to bump into it to exist
- 4000 meditating to reduce crime: "the number of murders actually went up."
THE MISCONCEPTIONS: BAD PHYSICS: Misconceptions spread by K-6 Grade School Textbooks
- SCIENTISTS USE THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD? not quite.
- LAKES AND OCEANS ARE BLUE BECAUSE THEY REFLECT THE BLUE SKY? No.
- CLOUDS REMAIN ALOFT BECAUSE WATER DROPLETS ARE TINY? Wrong!
- THE SKY IS BLUE BECAUSE OF COMPLICATED PHYSICS No, it's simple.
- A LEMON-BATTERY CAN LIGHT A FLASHLIGHT BULB? doesn't work!
- SOUND TRAVELS BETTER THROUGH SOLIDS & LIQUIDS? No it doesn't.
- GRAVITY IN SPACE IS ZERO? It's actually strong.
- FILLED AND EMPTY BALLOONS DEMONSTRATE THE WEIGHT OF AIR? Misleading.
- GASES ALWAYS EXPAND TO FILL THEIR CONTAINERS? Not quite.
- FRICTION IS CAUSED BY SURFACE ROUGHNESS? Obsolete idea!
- ICE SKATES FUNCTION BY MELTING ICE VIA PRESSURE? nope.
- THE EARTH HAS 92 CHEMICAL ELEMENTS?
- LIGHT FROM THE SUN IS PARALLEL LIGHT? The sun is *wide*!
- A WING'S LIFTING FORCE IS CAUSED BY ITS SHAPE?, no, by trailing edge angle.
possible solution to the (Newton/Bernouilli) controversy:
Billb's Airplane Flight Analogy
Note well: Newton and Bernoulli do not contradict each other. Explanations which are based on Newton's and on Bernoulli's principles are completely compatible. Air-deflection and Newton's Laws explain 100% of the lifting force. Air velocity and Bernoulli's equation also explains 100% of the lift. For the most part they're just two different ways of simplifying a single complicated subject. Much of the controversy arises because one side or the other insists that only *THEIR* view is correct. They insist that only a *SINGLE* explanation is possible, and the opposing view is therefore wrong. In other words... which is the One True Way to crack an egg? This is a war between the Big-endians and Little-endians from "Gulliver's Travels." They simply refuse to acknowledge that there are several valid yet independent approaches to solving the problem. They insist that their version must be the single right answer, the "One True Path," and anyone who disagrees is a heretic infidel who must be attacked and silenced.

- BEN FRANKLIN'S KITE WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING? He'd have died.
- THE MAIN LENS OF YOUR EYE IS INSIDE THE EYE?
- WHEN ONE PRISM SPLITS LIGHT INTO COLORS, A SECOND IDENTICAL PRISM CAN RECOMBINE THEM?

- AIR IS ALMOST ENTIRELY WEIGHTLESS?
- SHADOWS VANISH ON CLOUDY DAYS BECAUSE THE SUN ISN'T BRIGHT ENOUGH?
- INFRARED LIGHT IS A FORM OF HEAT?
- THERE ARE SEVEN COLORS IN THE RAINBOW?
- THE EARTH'S NORTH AND SOUTH MAGNETIC POLES RESIDE JUST BELOW THE SURFACE?
- LASER LIGHT IS "IN PHASE" LIGHT?
- LASER LIGHT IS PARALLEL LIGHT?
- LASERS ARE COHERENT BECAUSE ATOMS EMIT IN PHASE?
- IRON AND STEEL ARE THE ONLY STRONGLY MAGNETIC MATERIALS?
- RE-ENTERING SPACECRAFT ARE HEATED BY AIR FRICTION?
The Committee for Skeptical Inquirydismisses it as "a hodgepodge of all kinds of crackpot nonsense,"
the strongest leaps of imagination are by:
