: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.
:29:03
[ Man ] We know what an observer does
from a point of view of quantum physics...
:29:07
but we don't know
who or what the observer actually is.
:29:12
Doesn't mean we haven't tried to find
an answer. We've looked.
:29:15
We've gone inside of your head.
We've gone into every orifice you have...
:29:20
to find something
called an observer.
:29:22
And there's nobody home.
There's nobody in the brain.
:29:24
There's nobody in the cortical regions
of the brain.
:29:27
There's nobody in the subcortical regions
or the limbic regions of the brain.
:29:30
There's nobody there
called an observer.
:29:32
And yet, we all have this experience
of being something called an observer...
:29:37
observing the world out there.
:29:39
Is this the observer...
:29:41
and which is so intricate
to understanding...
:29:46
the wacky, weird world...
:29:48
of quantum particles
and how they react?
:29:54
Is this then the observer?
