I knew I wasn't going to get out of explaining this--I just hoped I could put it off a bit longer, since it's so involved.
Oh well, I'll just copy the thread I made on another forum--save myself alot of typing.
*copied from another forum*
So, I'm sitting here--sore and bruised from getting my a$$ beat by my new sparring partner--when (not surprisingly) my mind begins to wander onto more intellectual subjects...
Quantum Physics
Now there's a mindf*ck, and since I love f*cking in most of its forms--I figure why not make a thread about it.
So here we go...
WARNING!
Quantum Physics and the theories and concepts involved in its study are known to cause insanity in scientists, interns, and other lab animals...

Well, if we're going to talk about this, I'd better skip straight to the BIG theory--wouldn't want anyone going insane before we got to it--so here it is:
The Experiment With Two Holes: Why Physics Is A Joke
Scientists have known for a while that when you shine a beam of light onto a plate with two holes in it, you get a striped pattern of light on the other side. This is caused by the different photons in the beam interfering with one another.
One day, a scientist decided to try firing only one photon at a time at the plate--and an amazing thing happened...
...the photons still made a striped "interference pattern" on the other side.
None of the scientists could figure it out--only one photon was going through at a time, so what could be interfering with it?
The answer would destroy physics as we know it.
The only explanation anyone could think of was that the single photon was being interfered with by versions of itself from other realities. It was determined that whenever more than one outcome is possible--such as the photon going through either the right or left hole--the universe splits into two or more parallel universes--one for each possible outcome.
Because the mathematical laws of probability state that everything has at least a slight probability of happening, that means there are an infinite number of universes--and since they contain more possibilities than the human mind can conceive of--anything imaginable is true in at least one of them.
This has some interesting side affects, when you consider religion...
...people can conceive of other dimensions containing beings who are able to travel from their universe to ours, therefore these dimensions exist as one of the alternate universes--and any dimension hopping being from God to Satan to Captain Kirk can hop over here and lay the Holy/Unholy/Photon Torpedo b1tchslap down on our mortal a$$ess.
Thus all religions from Christianity to Shinto to the Church of Bob the Guy Next Door are true.
If that wasn't bad enough, further examination showed that when a universe splits into multiple realities, it becomes suspended as a "probability wave"--a mathematical probability that only collapses into a real outcome when observed.
This led to the question "what counts as an observer?"
Would a camera or a mechanical detector count?
What about an animal?
Does it have to be a conscious observer like a person?
And if so, what if there is no one observing them?
Wouldn't their state of "did observe"/"didn't observe" become yet another probability wave and require another observer to collapse it--who would then require another and another and....
Eventually, the scientists figured out that it was belief that determined which outcome you ended up with. It turns out the mind subconsciously receives information from all the alternate realities simultaneously, then it's subconscious beliefs act as a "tuner" to select the reality the mind considers to be "real" and ignores the information from all the other universes--much like a TV that receives all the channels through it's antenna, but only displays the channel it's tuned to.
Of course, what all this means is that none of the so called "laws of physics" existed until some scientist found enough evidence for them to subconsciously believe it was real.
In short, they made them all up.
Not only does this theory prove that Physics is just a bunch of people in lab
coats convincing themselves and everyone else that arbitrary rules are "The Laws of the Physical Universe", it also proves that nothing is actually "real"--all the alternate realities are really just a series of probabilities that the mind selects from, choosing which aspect of the probability wave's pattern it wants to focus on but being unable to collapse the wave into an actual reality.
Of course, the theory sounds like total Bull$hit, even the name of the experiment sounds fake-- WTF? "The Experiment With Two Holes" LOL!
...the only problem is, nobody's been able to disprove it--and all the evidence points to it being absolutely true.

About that last part--at the forum I origionally posted this on, I had a quote from the Akira Kurosawa film "Hidden Fortess" as my signature:
"...and this floating world is a dream--burn with abandon!"
For more information on the subject, or to verify the claims I made in that post, you can google for "The Experiment With Two holes" and "Schrodinger's Cat Theory"
Bear in mind that some physicists will loudly argue against this theory--they are just trying to keep their jobs, not unlike the scientists who argued against gravitation, the idea that the earth orbited the sun, and Einstien's general theory of relativity.
If you can actually find proof that this theory is wrong, by all means let me know.
I'd love to have something more believable than this hobgoblin of a theory, but I've got to go with the evidence--and the evidence supports it.
