"What the Bleep do We Know" is another cult-ish New-Agey pseudoscience video based on QM.

That one sucked, in my opinion.

This was a post I made a little while ago, maybe it helps?

that the group that made the video are cult trying to bring people in the cult and also the book I'am reading now does explain the experiment and from what I got from the book I think the video is wrong totally

There are tons of garbage out there. Not all of it, though.
Might want to keep that in mind. If someone tells you what
you 'should' believe, then chances are, the're off. :-)

Thanks everybody who replied. I'am positive that esfx knows what video I'am talking about. It was something like "what the bleep do we know?", Also The title in Youtube had someting like Dr. Quantum or Mr.Quantum it's a cartoon film/video... Oh yea I'am sure I will go and read the book that you guys suggested really interested now. I've also wanted to read books on general relativity and quantum and String theory I guess the book that you guys suggested is an all in one package yahoooo !!!!
K anyways back to Quantum stuff the place I'am in the book is talking about the double slit experiment but a different take on it. It is talking something about delayed choice or something like that. The book is quite confusing when it tries to explain the experiments. But any how thanks a lot guys.

P.S. Gotta check my school library for that book if the don't have that book then I guess I gotta go buy it from Amazon.

Delayed choice is a concept in which the decision to 'see' which slit the particle went through is made after it has already gone through. Wheeler's delayed choice experiment showed that even when one chooses to look at what slit the particle went through after it has gone through,, the choice to look still has an effect on what the particle did. Wheeler suggested that the choice could be dragged out indefinitely and this would still be true with the example of a photon going around a star. You may know that sufficiently massive bodies in space, like large stars, bend light with their gravitational field. This picture is of two stars, one in the foreground and one in the distant background. The four points of light around the center one are actually all coming from the same star, the light has just been bent around the massive star in the foreground. If you read down on that first link I posted, you'll see that the experiment suggests that even though the photons have passed the star billions of years ago, we can still effect which side of the star the photons appear to pass based on our decision to detect it or not.

Wow thanks a lot Xaqaria for that website really informational. The book "The Elegant Universe| was taken out damn!!! I have another question what is like the genral Idea of Quantum. For instance the thing about the uncertainty thing, or the copenhengan (notsure if I spelled that right or not) iidea.
Thanks anyway

Just watch some Dr Quantum videos.

I am not a physicist, but I am pretty certain that some of the major principles of quantum physics, such as the Uncertainty Principle and non-determinism, are illogical notions. It appears that quantum physics is to science what left wing ideology is to politics. It is a mass of rationalizations away from reality that allow certain people to pretend that they are extra-intellectual when really they are just extra-dishonest. Watch what happens to the field of physics over the next few decades. I predict that bullshit will be called and proven in our lifetimes.
