QUANTUM PHYSICS OBSERVER EFFECT DEMONSTRATED


Show the film PLAN NINE FROM OUT SPACE to people. Afterwards, the discussion of what is was/is can be gotten from the observers of the film, who will not be in total agreement about what was just seen.

Some will consider it trash.

Others might be amused by it.

Some will cringe from it.

Someone who likes it was probably stoned, drunk or 5 years old.

Each person will consider their viewpoint the correct one. The observer carried within his/her self their own dictates, experiences, concerns and expectations. Thusly, they will not be having the same kind of viewing experience that others in the room will have.

In this fashion, demonstrations of how art can teach us how science works.

Class dismissed.

I like your taste in movies.
Have you ever seen Bubba Hotep?
I also like your taste in music/comedy. Have you ever listened to the Firesign Theater (the earlier albums)?
