Quantum Mechanics: Fabric of the Cosmos

"The Fabric of the Cosmos," a four-hour series based on the book by renowned physicist and author Brian Greene, takes us to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are piecing together the most complete picture yet of space, time, and the universe. With each step, audiences will discover that just beneath the surface of our everyday experience lies a world we'd hardly recognize - a startling world far stranger and more wondrous than anyone expected.

Brian Greene is going to let you in on a secret: We've all been deceived. Our perceptions of time and space have led us astray. Much of what we thought we knew about our universe - that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that exists - just might be wrong.

The quantum universe is just as much an illusion as everything else. It is just another choice of something to believe in; something we use to create the illusion that we can know anything at all.
No one ever promised Reality must be sane, to assume so, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, is madness.

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained. -
Samuel Langhorne Clemens

Ya, these theories are conjured up just to explain the unexplainable. No two physicists agree on any of it.

Yeah dudes. Ultimately, a spade is still a spade

Sounds like Brian Green is saying that the Pope only shits in the woods if someone is there to observe it. Am I wrong? OK then.

If a poop falls in the forest, will anybody hear?

That depends dude....is it a wave or a particle?

[Hominid]

Many particles I'm thinking. I've never watched my feces collapse...

Damn....I suffer from IBS....I have collapsed many a wave function!!
and yes....it definitly makes a sound!

[cckeiser]

Shit! Notice how this topic had collapsed down to bodily functions?

[Hominid]

Something we can all relate to I suppose.

"Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means
nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction
between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

death, (March 1955) as quoted in Science and the Search for God Disturbing the
Universe (1979) by Freeman Dyson Ch. 17 "A Distant Mirror" ; also quoted at
Einstein's God (NPR)

[Hominid]

That's, like, his opinion man..

[cckeiser]

New shit has come to light dudes.
