Dr Quantum - Double Slit Experiment



From:
What the !Bleep! do we know? Down the Rabbit Hole

Filmed on location in Portland, Oregon, What the Bleep Do We Know blends a fictional story line, documentary-style discussion, and computer animation to present a viewpoint of the physical universe and human life within it, with connections to neuroscience and quantum physics. Some ideas discussed in the film are:

* The universe is best seen as constructed from thought (or ideas) rather than from substance.
* What has long been considered "empty space" is anything but empty. see Dark energy
* Our beliefs about who we are and what is real are not simply observations, but rather form ourselves and our realities.
* Peptides manufactured in the brain can cause a bodily reaction to an emotion, resulting in a new perspective to old adages such as "think positively" and "be careful what you wish for."

In the fictional segments of the movie, Marlee Matlin portrays Amanda, a deaf photographer who acts as the viewer's avatar as she experiences her life from startlingly new and different perspectives.

In the documentary segments of the film, experts in quantum physics, biology, medicine, psychiatry, and theology, along with spiritual commentators, discuss the roots and meaning of Amanda's experiences. The comments focus primarily on a single theme: We create our own reality.
