Mind in its purest play is like some bat that beats about in caverns all alone, Contriving by a kind of sensless wit Not to conclude against a wall of stone. It has no need to falter or explore; Darkly it knows what obstacles are there, And so many weave and flitter, dip and soar In perfect courses through the blackest air...

...And has this simile a like perfection? The mind is like a bat. Precisely. Save that in the very happiest intellection A graceful error may correct the cave.

.. ..his uncertainty came about as the result of watching the behaviour of elementary sub-atomic particles. They were doing alarming things. For a start, even though they were moving, he couldn't measure their position and speed at the same time. He could measure one or the other, but not both simultaneously. .

..Put another way, he could get a reading for them on his 'speedometer', but when he got a reading the particles didn't appear on his map of the usual paths along which they travelled. On the other hand, when they could be seen on the map, the 'speedometer' said they weren't moving.(anuan3) If the thing is moving, surely it must be somewhere. But it wasn't.. .

.. Eventually, Heisenberg concluded that these particles were doing what they were doing as a result of the simple fact that he was watching them!

.. Therefore, you couldn't observe a thing without somehow altering it by observing it.

so your saying sub atomic particals know when the're being watched. . . does tht mean the're conscious ?

..Heisenberg was not alone in generating doubt about the solidity of the universe. Another man who cosiderably loosened up the general view of what was possible and normal was Albert Einstein. he took the idea of time- which up to that point everyone had assumed was constant wherever and whenever you looked at your watch-...
