Quantum Mechanics
All right, i hope some of you are familiar with the basicīs of quantum mechanics.
Iīve discovered this theme about 2 years ago, and itīs truly fascinating.
But it also throws up many questions:
do the neutrons really change their behaviour,
just because of getting observed?
Can they duplicate themselves?
are they faster than light?
is it even measurable?
and many more.

Itīs really an interesing thing,
which i canīt explain to myself yet.
Itīs still a big mystery that got to be solved.
So if you got any opinions, or even theoryīs on this one, feel free to post.

You're probably thinking of Schrodinger's cat thought experiment, which implies the cat is simultaneously dead and alive until observed (superposition of states).

"If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics." - Richard Feynman
I've just read several reviews which claim that what few actual quantum physicists were present in documentary were grossly misrepresented by slice and dice editing. Several of them (like David Albert) are allegedly outraged at the final product as they saw themselves portrayed as supporting new-age abra-kadabra.

Now, I haven't actually gone and checked more in-depth since I'm not home atm, but I will. I suggest you do the same, and don't just gobble up anything that looks good.
