Where the hell are you?
I've got a studio full of people...

:31:20
but, oh, my God.!
:31:23
There's no photographer.
:31:26
Where, oh, where
can she be?

:31:28
Aliens?
Loch Ness monster?

:31:33
Or a hot date?
:31:36
In Washington, D.C., the so-called
murder capital of the world...

:31:39
there was a big experiment
in the summer of 1 993...

:31:42
where 4,000 volunteers came
from a hundred countries...

:31:45
to collectively meditate for long periods
of time throughout the day.

:31:49
It was predicted in advance
that with such a sized group...

:31:53
you would have a 25% drop
in violent crime...

:31:56
as defined by the F.B.I.
in Washington that summer.

:31:59
Well, the chief of police
went on television saying that...

:32:03
''Look. It's gonna
take two feet of snow...

:32:06
to reduce crime by 25% in
Washington, D.C. this summer.''

:32:10
But by the end, the police department became
a collaborator and author of this study...

:32:14
because the results in fact showed a 25%
drop in violent crime in Washington, D.C....

:32:20
which we could predict
on the basis of 48 previous studies...

:32:24
that had already been done
on a smaller scale.

:32:26
This leads naturally
to wonder do people--

:32:29
are people affecting the world
of reality that they see?

:32:33
You betcha they are.
:32:35
Every single one of us
affects the reality that we see...

:32:38
even if we try to hide
from that and play victim.

:32:42
We all are doin' it.
:32:47
Just tell me
where you are.

:32:51
Good. But hurry,
will ya, please?

:32:53
- Because these models
are giving me a headache.
- Ten minutes!
