What The #@*% Do We Know: hour 1

Part 1 - Hour 1
It is important for us as human beings to explore the unknown. We have been doing so since we were put on this earth. But unlike explorers of the past, whom set out to decypher if the world was flat or what is was like on the surface of the moon, quantum theorists delve into the molecular level to explore anomolies that we do not understand yet. Quantum physics is the theory of laying out the possibilities of the unknown, why molecules seem to disappear and reappear out of existance, and what that can mean for us. After seeing this program, i do not believe there is much i can contribute to the discussion, beiing as that i never studied quantum mechanics before. All i can share is my opinion at this point.

One topic that hie movie goes into is the possibility of alternate dimentions. Basically speaking, a different reality in which different decisions are made by the individual, altering the course of existance. This can also explain where these molecules go when they disappear. I do not know how i feel about this. it has been over done on movies, and cartoons to the point of mockery. To say there is another world out there where i have gone against my thoughts as i am now is kind of silly to me. And like i said. its all about Quantum mechanics. it is all speculation at this point and i have a hard time believing in something without hard evidence. So to me, Alternate dimentions can be put along side of the tooth fairy and sasquatch. We will have to find out alot more about the sub-atomic world before i am convinced in any more quantum theories related to alternate dimentions.

I found it interesting to learn that nothing is solid. The fundimantal particles make up a very small amount of the atom. there is space in between everything. In other words, fill up a cylander with large marbles. There is alot of space in between those marbles as they rest. Now try to put your flat palm through the marbles. you can not. and although not solid, it is still not easilly penetrable.

I do not believe that by taking 4,000 volunteers from 100 countries to Washington DC and having them meditate on a daily basis, reduces crime. That just sounds so crazy and implausible to believe that an individuals mental focus and spiritual awareness has the power to change the well being of a city and mindset of a particular group of people through mass meditation. This has to be coincidence. an anomoly of mass scale. And although i believe that everyone afffects the reality that everyone else precieves, its hard to believe that just thought alone can change a group of peoples lifestyle. However, the next segment about thought, attitude and their effects on the molecular structure of water reeled me in. Masaru Emoto experimented by applying mental stimuli and photographed it. The experiment showed that taking normal dam water and having a buddhist zen monk bless it, the molecular structure changed into a beautiful clean looking form as opposed to giving water negative mental stimuli, where the water turned rancid, discolored and odd-shaped. I was so intrested in this topic, i went to purchace one of Emotos' books. To my surprise i found out that the book i bought was published by my favorite author of all time: Louise L. Hay. I am really looking forward on reading his books and finding out new evidence to support these conclusions of "mind over matter"

The section about god is very contriversial. the speakers on the program basically explain that religion as we know it today, puts out a poor reflection on what it believes to be god

It was intresting to find out how addiction works on a mollecular level, and how everyones addictions differ. you constantly do things to feed yourcells' addiction.
