But what does that say about the nature of the universe?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For almost a century, physicists have wondered whether the most counterintuitive predictions of quantum mechanics (QM) could actually be true. Only in recent years has the technology necessary for answering this question become accessible, enabling a string of experimental results\u2014including startling ones reported in 2007 and 2010, and culminating now with a remarkable test reported in May\u2014that show that key predictions of QM are indeed correct. Taken together, these experiments indicate that the everyday world we perceive does not exist until observed, which in turn suggests\u2014as we shall argue in this essay\u2014a primary role for mind in nature. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What does it mean? They say they're not pushing mysticism or solipsism. They aren't claiming the world is a hallucination. Rather, they're talking about something bigger ... a \"transpersonal\" mind. Something, out there, in here, everywhere, observes, just as we do. That's what makes reality.<\/p>\n<p>Well then. Something somewhere must be very busy, doing all that observing.<\/p>\n<p>But it ain't me.<\/p>\n<p>I'm the Freedom Man. That's how lucky I am.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"The Doors: Universal Mind\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_SaO0b-DvJU8\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/SaO0b-DvJU8\/hqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SaO0b-DvJU8\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT4M44S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2009-12-30T16:52:31Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_SaO0b-DvJU8\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/SaO0b-DvJU8\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">The Doors: Universal Mind<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SaO0b-DvJU8\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/SaO0b-DvJU8\/0.jpg\" alt=\"The Doors: Universal Mind\" width=\"640\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"The Doors: Universal Mind Absolutely Live\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article in Scientific American asserts (citing much evidence) a rather mind-bending claim: nothing exists but quantum superposition - an unresolved cloud of possibilities - until a conscious mind observes.
