"What The Bleep Do We Know?"
I was watching this film last night which deals with quantum mechanics and reality.
I was left with the thought that no one participating in the film had the slightest clue.
The film offers as fact that physical reality is not real at all and that it is a manifestation of our thoughts. The film implies that if we, the observers and creators of the physical world, were to disappear that the physical world would also disappear. Thus, physical reality is an illusion.
The film covers a little more ground than what I described but that is the basis of it.
All this suggests that when I leave my workshop, the contents cease to exist until I return. If true, I feel that I shouldn't have to pay rent for the time I'm not actually using it.
Personally, I don't believe this nonsense but the film implies that I am not capable of making a judgement in this area.
Has anyone else seen this film and what do you have to say about it or its propositions?

This quote from douglas adams springs to mind
'The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be'.

skewed indeed. 
Bill, maybe you can make a case with your landlord based on this "documentary"
Or maybe it's like The Matrix... if you think just right, when you get back, your shop will be full of hi-fi kit, playing sweet music.
I've heard about political / religious beliefs leading to biased reporting, but that takes the cake!

Its pretty amazing that more cars do not sponaneously explode considering how some drivers think that they work.
does that also mean i can say i have the star of india on ebay, and just put a lump of coal in the package when i sell it.
the person recieving it will expect the star of india and tada!!!

I would not consider every religious person to belong to the right wing. There are some who still believe in responsibility of the individual towards the good of society. And then there are highflying gangsters that ran enron, world com etc, and helped funding...we know whom.
And yes - I think there were some examples - if I remember correctly, graham green converted to catholocism.
Usually that happens towards the end of ones lifetime- taking out insurance for the unknown.
