What the #$*! Quantum Quickie Toon


If you haven't seen the movie DO SO this week. The sequel should be on DVD soon, as well. Click to add to your Netflix Queue:Or, watch on Google Video:

One interesting possibility raised in this film is that if quantum physics REQUIRES an OBSERVER in order to collapse the probability wave into particles of experience, this could be one route toward reasonably postulating the existence of a META OBSERVING ENERGY or META OBSERVER which serves to fix the particles that we experience as our subset reality. While language has generally converged upon the name God for such a potential energy or entity, rampant abuse of the moniker still leaves me hopeful of finding something More Accurate, More Authentic, and certainly Empirical. If (and that's a huge if) science eventually comes around to 'discovering' and proving 'god' -- quantum physics is a pretty likely empirical path to that possibility. In the meantime, these films should be taken with equal measures of reflection, curiosity, and just plain fun.
