Yah! When I saw that it immediately changed my idea of health. Also, towards the end of the movie where the guy talks about the aging process was very interesting. I was thinking that maybe if we had a perfect and optimistic state of mind with no negative thinking, we would live forever. Maybe immortality is within us all but requires perfectly clear thinking.

I watched this video and the first thing that sprang to my mind was string theory . Is this related to multiple universe type theories?

Slow down here.

I'm not a fan really of what the bleep on the whole. A lot of the new age hype people need help, or more conviction in what they believe, so caught up in how to live, they don't actually live.

The water crystal experiment was done by Dr. Masaru Emoto and he has slides of these experiments. He has a journal entry in one peer reviewed article; some wishy washy journal. Some of this might be right. But we dont know how he did this. He could simply have had 174 jars and added the same note on each and chose which matched best. I'm skeptical-one way to find out is to get the same glasses and try for yourselves. Get some friends to try too- it could be of course that its not really the word but the emotion behind the word that affects the outcome.

I'm not going to waste my time on it though-somethings are naturally obvious.

Don't know what the discussion is about, I tried twice to watch the video only to get page default about the time the prof went quatum?
Watching the beginning I remembered Decius Nitpicking comments in psychology forum. So proffessor electrons are charged particles, not just tiny particles of mass. So as electron emission like photons has a threashold & cascade effect, I am more than a little doubtful of singular electron particles being fired [noting the conceptual video uses a circular area as the impacting area on the target]. The allusion to particle emission to bullets being fired from a gun would tend more toward a shotgun pattern of pellets than single strand of bullets but then I thought a better allusion would be stream of water from a squirt gun? But then I thought the water is made up of individual molecules so then the defraction pattern shown is consistant with particle behavior to begin with? Just me nitpicking what video I did see.

What are thoughts?
are they particles of energy or of matter, or are those the same thing?

One basic principle behind the double slit experiment is that particles are in fact waves.

This would define all matter as waves. Energy is already defined as being in wave form. Therefore, everything is waves. Even thoughts.

They thought maybe the light they shined on the electrons caused them to deviate? " "

Is that not true? Isn't that why they reduced or tried to eliminate the light?

I thought it was the act of looking at them that changed them?

Well, it's inconclusive what causes the change, but both the elimination of light (and therefore vision) does create the change.

Ah, IronWood that was a great beginning for the New Year, I really needed a good laugh this morning. Thank You for that 1st video. As for the second well it wasn't as entertainning. Besides the first statement, the line between 2 points being 1 dimensional maybe true but the first dimension would be the point & the second would be the (strait) line between them.
