:27:02
They're all possibilities
of consciousness.
:27:04
You now can see in numerous labs
around the United States...
:27:08
objects that are large enough
to be seen by the naked eye...
:27:13
and they are in
two places simultaneously.
:27:16
- You can actually take a photograph of that.
- [ Shutter Clicks ]
:27:19
Now, I suppose if you showed a photograph,
they'd say, ''Oh. Great.
:27:25
''Here's this nice blob of colored light,
and I see there's...
:27:28
''a bit of it over here and another bit--
So you've got a picture of two dots.
:27:32
What's the big deal?''
:27:34
You say, ''Look right in the chamber.
You can see it right there.''
:27:36
''I see two things there.''
''No, no. That's not two things--
:27:39
That's one thing.
It's the same thing in two places.''
:27:44
I'm not sure that people's
jaw would drop about it...
:27:48
because I think--
:27:51
I don't think people
really believe it.
:27:53
And I don't mean that people say, ''Oh, you're
lying,'' or ''Oh, the scientists are confused.''
:27:57
I-I think it is so mysterious that you
can't even understand how amazing it is.
:28:03
And then, furthermore,
you've seen Star Trek and whatnot.
:28:06
''Beam me up, Scotty.''
So it all seems sort of...
:28:09
''Oh, well, what does
that really mean?''
:28:11
But you've gotta really stop and
think about what that means--
:28:14
That it's the same object
and it's in two places at once.
:28:17
When people tinker in the lab, and they get
angry about things, and they have lunch...
:28:21
and they go home
and they lead their lives...
:28:23
just as though nothing
utterly astounding is happening...
:28:26
because that's how
you have to go about it--
:28:28
And yet, there's this
completely amazing magic...
:28:32
sitting right in front
of your eyes.
:28:36
[ Man ] Quantum physics
calculates only possibilities...
:28:41
but if we accept this,
then the question immediately comes...
:28:45
who, what, chooses among
these possibilities...
:28:48
to bring the actual event
of experience?
:28:51
So we directly, immediately see
that consciousness must be involved.
:28:57
The observer cannot be ignored.
