Uncertainty and the quantum mechanics view of the world.

**

I forgot my video camera and recorded this video on my Android cell phone balanced on the tripod. It is absolutely amazing that a device that small can record this much video of this high a quality. The sound volume clipping is a little annoying. I equalized and processed it to make it more listenable. Too bad because it was a fun discussion. Parts are regrettably inaudible.

The music was added to help mask the annoying audio quality and add some random sonic textures to the video art experience.

Special thanks for Meredith Hook and Gordon Kapsar for their interest.

Gordon and another visitor can be seen at the end of the video walking in front of the tripod.

An interesting discussion of whether being conscious thoughtful about a particular phenomenon causes you to be more aware of occurrences in your own life, OR actually causes more occurrences to manifest in your own life.

For example, when I buy a new car, I suddenly see that same model car EVERYWHERE, when only weeks earlier, I was absolutely unaware it existed.

Does thinking about pennies cause you to be more vigilantly watchful to see pennies on the ground, or does thinking about pennies actually CAUSE more pennies to appear?

Emotional feeling and impressions seems to favor "manifestation", but sober logic and dispassionate analysis conclude the phenomenon can only be attributed to "vigilant awareness"

But the debate continues anyway...

Thanks for listening and sorry again about the audio quality. It is amazing that a device as small as a cell phone CAN record this well at all. I remember lugging around a Sony 1640 and 4800 recorder that was so big it took TWO PEOPLE to carry it. Of course, that was 40 years ago...
