Is matter conscious?

[Butterbean]

Is that what this video is saying?  Please watch and comment...only takes 5 min and is in cartoon form...very interesting!

interesting, but i don't necessarily think that matter is conscious.  what they didn't explain or maybe not in that segment is that perhaps the equipment that they used to observe the electrons actaully emmited enough radiant interference to make the particle behave differently than expected.

its called the collapse of the wave function..

in short...in quantum mechanix a particle does not exist in a single position between lets say point A and another point B.

it exists in all positions Simultaneously..only the probability of finding it in a particular state changes

it could be that all there is is conciousness or MIND

our self identity could just be an illusion

nothing new in either of those two thoughts
