What the Bleep!?: Down the Rabbit Hole Page #4

---

outside the box of convention-

or say we merged quantum

physics and neurophysiology...

and the brain is asked to contemplate-

or we're-we're asked to

contemplate on that...

and examine the what-ifs and

possibilities and potentials...

and associate our knowns with

our experience of what we know...

and repeat it over and over again...

the brain's gonna start to integrate

two independent neuronets...

and it's gonna create a new vision.

And that new vision's gonna

be like taking a flashlight...

and shining it from those

that have to do with our body...

and our environment and time...

slightly over, in the dark...

and looking at something new.

That's called realization.

You okay? I heard you scream

earlier. Was it another dream?

You were an Indian...

watching Columbus's ship

materialize out of thin air.

Wow!

And this medicine man kept hitting you.

Cool! That's

- Hey.

Maybe it was a past life...

or a parallel reality or a future life.

Get real.

Or maybe that dream was

trying to tell you the truth.

I guess it just depends

on what you think is real.

Maybe you should try

different anxiety pills.

My pills are fine, okay? Thank you.

Well, I have to go get dressed.

I hope you feel better, Amanda.

God, Amanda. You can be such an a**hole.

People ask me, why does

quantum mechanics matter...

given that it's all

- it's little tiny stuff

And who cares? There are

three possible answers.

From a practical point of view, it

doesn't make any difference at all.

You still have to go to work, drive

your car and do all the rest of it.

From a second point

of view, it actually-

it infiltrates everything in the world,

especially the world of electronics.

When you go to the supermarket and

you do the scanning at the checkout...

that's a quantum mechanical effect.

But I think the important

part is the third one...

which is essentially

a philosophical issue.

Why are philosophers so passionate...

about deconstruction the

assumptions of the world?

I finally got it. I got it as a result

of looking at quantum mechanics...

and comparing it to classical mechanics.

They present two very

different ways of thinking...

about the way that the world

works and about what we are.

So, from a classical

perspective, we are machines.

And in machines, there's no

room for a conscious experience.

Doesn't matter if a machine

dies. You can kill the machine.

You can throw it in the

dump. It doesn't matter.

If that is the way that the world is,

then people will behave in that way.

But there's another way of

thinking about the world.

It's pointed to by quantum mechanics...

which suggested that the world
