"mind" works fine for u in philosophy, dag? really? so are you a dualist, believing mind and body are two separate things? or are they the same thing?

the concept of "nonlocality" is a basic quantum idea -- where an action on a subatomic particle here will affect its pair, regardless of how distant it is. it happens simultaneously, NOT by transmitting information through space. i can send you some info on this if you want. shoot me ur email addy.

dag- my own theory about it is that there IS a missing factor: mind. Mind exists in the universe, but what the f%*^ is it? Matter? Non-matter?
You may prefer to think scientists have it wrong, but it's waaay more likely that the way we perceive the world is through a very thick veil, or again, Plato's cave.... It's hard for our minds to think this way, but I buy it. The evidence is undeniable.

Back to the Double Slit experiment, from "what the 5*&#$...":

Daphne - the double slit experiment is not a recent discovery, and it's not due to confounding variables such as the equipment. It's been duplicated many times over. It's difficult to fully accept its implications, but they are undeniable: the seemingly solid physical world we live in is nothing of the sort. This "stuff", matter, is not what it appears to be at all, and is, rather, condensed energy. The mind doesn't go there willingly.
