Quantum Trickery - Einstein's Strangest Theory

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the fun-with-physics dept.

breckinshire writes "The New York Times is running an interesting story on Einstein's strangest theory. The theory was brought to light this past fall when 'scientists announced that they had put a half dozen beryllium atoms into a "cat state." [...] These atoms were each spinning clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time.' It is an interesting writeup for even the uninitiated and also concentrates on Einsteins role as a 'founder and critic of quantum theory.'"

    It may well be, literally. Try DMT (hard to get, but well worth it). People experienced with it says it lifts them out of "the matrix" and into a different reality. Most people experience that reality uniformly and say it's as real as this one.

    One theory advanced to explain the whole thing is that the brain is more of a receiver than a creator of content, and that certain hallucinogens might "change the channel" so to speak.

    Btw, would you mind slashdotting my google ads? That'd really help me out financially "post-christmas".. ;) http://binaural.tk/
