“The problem with classical physics is that it ignores the law of uncertainty. I believe uncertainty isn’t only a state of the conscious mind – it is a constant force acting throughout the universe. Uncertainty is a physical and measurable force – I’m the first to discover”

“seemed like he wanted a beer in his dreams before he even woke up in the morning. What was that country song? “the beer I had for breakfast was so good, I had three more for dessert.”

“I was a smoker during the last days of smokers still running the show, really being in charge in many ways. When you can exhale smoke that hovers and floats across the room, it’s unsaid, but clear, that you’re calling a lot of shots. That haze of smoke across the restaurant, or bar, or lobby, or office, or airplane cabin – if you can believe it – it’s part of me, my breath, making its way into your lungs.”

“Freedom is necessary for true sanity,” she said. “Because if you’re not free then some part of you has to live in ignorance – or live a lie. Living a lie is worse than any lie ever spoken. Truth isn’t democratic – is part of what I’m trying to say. Two plus two equals four – that isn’t decided in an election. The majority does not define sanity and yet that’s all we’re taught – in our family, school, church, work, politics – get along, go with the crowd, listen to authority, get good grades, don’t talk back, stand in line, wait your turn, cooperate. Wait your turn? But what if your turn never comes unless you get outside of the line and unless you start talking back?”

“According to this theory, a particle passing through the slits is a ‘probability wave’. The particle does not have an exact location but instead has a probability of being here, there, or somewhere else entirely. Some locations are more probable, such as the light areas in the interference pattern, and some will be less probable, such as the dark areas. According to the Copenhagen Interpretation, an unobserved electron does not exist as a particle, instead it is a wave covering areas of probability – called superpositions – where it could possibly be found once observed. Once the electron is observed, the wave function collapses, and the electron becomes a particle.”

“My findings indicate a strong possibility that the laws of physics are different when life is present. I need help understanding what I’m seeing. So much of it seems like weird magic. Can life have a magic power? Or does life appear as magic because I’m trapped in a living form? And I’m trapped within time, which is an artificial construct, but I can’t manipulate time or observe anything outside of the time I’m trapped in.”
