In other words, he maintains that human consciousness affects the molecular structure of water.
Similar phenomena can be argued regarding "interviewer bias" where the race, gender, words, appearance, or other factors such as behavior of the interviewer may have an effect on the interviewee. Some wording effects may be understood in certain ways due to the experience or cultural background of the respondent, for instance, and he may misinterpret or misunderstand them. Wording effects can be reciprocal too with the interviewer misunderstanding words or tone of the respondent. All of these (and other factors) may serve to corrupt the study
4. For this film when you hear the word "atom or molecule" replace it with "person or individual" in your mind. Beyond the complexities of physics, if we look at this story as a social science story, what is the film suggesting about the potential human beings have to influence their environment on various levels. Explain.
Amanda, the photographer character in the film, encounters emotional and existential obstacles in her life and comes to believe that individual and group consciousness...
This argument is contentious but, either way, the film suggests that humans have an inordinate and huge influence on their environment and this is, undoubtedly, true.
We can consciously influence our environment in various ways. Using the suggestions of the film, we can influence it through our cognitions; the way we think effects the way we react with others hence their response to us, as well as the way we perceive phenomena driving, in turn, our behavior. Our behavior effects reality. The film shows that reality is changed by every thought, and that lesson -- when applied to the realm of human existence can be vast, since humans have the potential to see their person and that of others -- or their circumstance and that of others -- in a way that, consequently shapes reality. The lesson of What the Bleep Do We Know! Can be expanded to prejudice as well as to research performed by social scientists in all aspects. We learn that we are susceptible to bias and that we warp reality with our thoughts. Consequently, the best we can do is control our studies by rigid scientific controls.
A phase change is what occurs when matter moves from one of these states to the other. The melting of ice into liquid water, for instance, constitutes a phase change, just as the boiling of water into invisible water vapor, or the condensing of gaseous water vapor in the air into liquid water on a cool windowpane or glass of water, are also phase changes. Phase changes generally require a
Cosmological interpretations of the universe continue to predominate in many Eastern cultures, and a majority of Americans, knowing their zodiacal sign intimately, read their horoscope every morning with their coffee and Pop Tarts. Many people still celebrate Easter, although its connection with Ishtar might cause some of them pause, and Christmas and New Year's are modern ceremonial rituals connected with these early creation myths on a level that must
Interestingly enough, though, what is it that is so aesthetically pleasing that we want there to be a single theory of everything -- why does everything need to be explained in one fell swoop? This idea of a Theory of Everything is becoming more philiosophical than scientific. Aristotle and Plato were unsuccesful in their attempt to make a theory work, and Hawking said, in A Brief History of Time, that
In this interpretation Heitler accepts the modified Copenahgenist observer created reality, but adds that the act of observation dissolves the barrier between observer and the observed. The observer is a necessary part of the whole. Once observed, the object is now an inseparable part of the observer (Bleuler). Arntz addresses this bridge between the observer, the observer, and reality by asking "why aren't we magicians?"; indeed, if we create
The Implicate Order and Explicate Order can be compared to a piece of holographic film and the image it produces. The film corresponds to the enfolded, or hidden, Implicate Order. The image, or hologram, (what is humanly perceived) is the Explicate Order. Thus, the tangible "reality" of our everyday lives is a kind of holographic image being projected from the "film" or source -- the Implicate Order (Dunlap, 2000). The flow
It is so much a copy that one could call it a clone of the original; in other words, it is a second original. If matter were to be thus transported, then we would have two of the original objects, should one be transported. Alternative theories, based on the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, would be best followed up, if matter is the stuff which one wants to transport. The Heisenberg Principle
