    Well that's good. But you are still relying on the person reading the study for you and getting the results correct. Effectively there is a middleman who may or may not understand what's in the paper and all the background info it relies on. But a citation is a good start. Just saying I don't trust videos by people with no credentials.

    If you want to have some fun, look for videos explaining the twin paradox without using acceleration (special relativity only). I have found them in the past, contradicting each other.

      Now we might have Negative Time. In all probability. Probably.
      On the quantum scale at least.

      And Thank god the guy was smart and showed the actual
      University of Toronto research paper in it.

        One of the reasons you can't send information faster than light is because there are scenarios where the information could be received before it is sent, which obviously makes no sense since it violates the laws of causality.

        Interestingly, photons have no mass, and time does not exist for them. Which is pretty weird. A photon emitted from the Sun and absorbed by a planet 2 years later is emitted and absorbed instantly from the photon's point of view because photons have no point of view - time is something only observed from inertial reference frames, and photons, with no mass, are not part of any inertial reference frame. This is why they are viewed from every reference frame the same way - traveling at speed c - even to an observer traveling fast in the same direction.

        None of this quantum stuff really makes any sense at the macro level that we exist at.

          Exactly what I commented to someone. I don't know how this translates to the macro scale.
          That quantum aspect always seemed odd to me that it's the fundamental building blocks of everything
          ,of the entire universe, we are looking at and yet it doesn't affect the macro scale in anyway.
          Unless, what they've observed in this case is such an uncommon probability. Wouldn't have any
          noticeable influence on the macro scale.

            Quantum mechanics affect things indirectly at the macro scale. Microwave ovens and atomic bombs are based on quantum mechanics. It's just that all the "weird" stuff in quantum mechanics is almost always not visible at the macro scale. Somebody did make a device where you could see quantum effects directly at the macro scale.

            Not easy to do.

            But I forget, you like videos.

            Consciousness involving Quantum Physics

            Go to 8:07 for the heart of the explanation




            The Smart TV youtube app began recommending Consciousness videos for some reason last night.
            I tend to like following certain youtube video rabbit holes. The other videos
            were more philosophical than actual biological mechanisms. Then I began
            to remember I had seen the above video a while ago. Sure enough I did.
            Not at bed time though but when working or playing on the computer and the laptop
            playing stuff in the background as usual while I'm on the desktop.

              Since consciousness is subjective and can't be measured, I tend to immediately write off any "scientific" explanations of it, since science deals in what can be measured.

              Yes but it still fits in with some philosophical discussion

              At 1:51



              It's one of the vids I caught last night.

                A few quick thoughts before I head off to sleep

                In the Wheeler video above

                At 30:18 Carl Sagan echoed the same sentiment in Cosmos. "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself"



                As for the Tryptophans, that molecule could be the mechanism by which our quantum self is able to physically interact with this reality.
                The connection.

                I started thinking about how the entire universe vibrates. Everything is vibrating.
                Then remembering reading about that healing frequency of 432 hz. The same frequency inside
                the Pyramids vibrate at. In the queens chamber and the walkways all resonate
                at that frequency when you introduce a tone. The voice. Like Om. I read somewhere
                that it is documented in ancient Egypt that people did make journeys to them
                for healing. And it's not just those three but even the bent pyramids as well.

                Even Tolkien touched upon that in the Silmarillion. The music (vibration) of the Ainur
                which created Arda and the realm in which it exists. And that whole thing with
                Melkor/Morgoth adding discord to that song which created all the dark things.

                Anyway just some contemplations. Here's one more that I had caught.



                For the rest of the class here, I know this is some really heavy thought provoking
                subjects but think of it as an introduction what's to come as you get
                older and wiser. 😄

                  And for those who prefer to read, here is an excellent site that I was surprised to find was still there decades later. Google Search couldn't find it (no surprise nowadays) but my bookmark still worked. A page on the participatory anthropic principle. Each page has links to other subjects at the bottom.

                  https://kwelos.tripod.com/anthropism.htm

                  This kind of stuff is quite interesting but I wouldn't confuse it with science. It's Buddhism.

                        What he said at that time-index in the video, this is what I saw once in one of the (best) "The Twilight Zone" episodes from the 80s. Exactly that.

                        That 80's twilight Zone did have some good episodes
                        This one below was always my favorite. This is the best quality one
                        I can find just that it contains the full segment of 4 stories.

                        23:38 Begins the second story and my fav "A small talent for war" (I rank it up with the original series episode "To Serve Man" yes cooking by the book)



                        Edit: Oh it's the same Episode that contains the story of the one you posted at 31:35 heh


                        Anyway, I have almost forgotten to post this one about sleep I had seen when it was uploaded days ago.
                        That beginning with example of the Hungarian soldier Paul Kern.

                          The people that had a bi-phasic sleep, in those days there was no lights yet. Only moonlight. What would those people do in the middle of the night if it's very dark? What can you do? Nothing. It doesn't make sense. 4 hours awake in the middle of the night. And what did the people in the test group do when they woke up, in the middle of the night?
