Mental illness/brain waves

Yes parallel universes could indeed exist. I read ages ago in a time magazine how scientists did some experiment with shining a light through a pinpoint in a piece of paper and somehow seeing a shadow or something which could only be explained by a parallel universe. I wish I could remember the premise a little better. Does anyone know what it was?

You are thinking of Young's double-slit experiment, a famous experiment which helped physicists to develop some of the theories of Quantum Mechanics. Place a barrier in front of a screen, and shine light (or an electron beam) through two slits in the barrier which are separated by a distance similar to the wavelength of the beam. Then the light, or electrons, will form an interference pattern on the screen which is generally recognized as being a property of waves. This will occur even when only a single particle passes through the slits at a time, so it is not merely due to large numbers of particles interfering with each other. Most theoretical physicists believe that this is due to the particles actually possessing some of the properties of waves, but a minority hold the opinion that it is due to interactions between particles in our universe and those in other universes. It may be that it is impossible to prove which explanation is correct, in which case the theories which have been developed to account for them would more properly be termed philosophy than science.

As far as the Tree falling, the physics of sound remain unchanged regardless if their is a listener. Sound waves move in a mechanical longitudinal way through a medium transmitting energy. Unless the tree was in a vacuum, it would make a sound~~ wave that is. Whether you define sound as something interpreted by a human brain in order to spur philosophical discussion and reasoning is another thing. Regardless of the banal arguing about a tree and how you define 'in your mind' what the question is asking, it is simply a vague utterance. Which of course, the more vague the statement a man makes, the more likely it is to be correct.

But in regards to the frequency question. I ask you to just observe the phenomenon yourself.
As a scientist I have been able to recreate these frequencies and what most likely would fall under the umbrella term of schizoid state.

The good thing is it, in the vast usage of the substance, is completely reversible in six hours and come back to reality and completely legal.

Hearing music playing in your head, visions, visiting different worlds, communicating with God, visiting different parallel universes. Its all real and all possible if you believe it. But after the serotonin and dopamine levels return to normal, you are basically back to normal (with a strange new perspective).
Its very easy to recreate on mg/kg basis. Basically you take a dosage of a substance that allows you to enter the mythic realm.

It has been quite reproducible between subjects

The question was raised: "If a man alone in the woods speaks, and his wife cannot hear him, is he still wrong?"

I have considered this question in light of the principles of modern physics and offer my thesis, dedicated to my wife, who anchors me in reality.

In the year 1900 Max Planck discovered that the energy of light is quantified. In 1905 Albert Einstein used Planck's Constant to write the theory of the photoelectric effect, that light behaves as a particle when it comes to energy transfer. Louis de Broglie proposed that particles can have a wave nature, and this fact was later verified.

These discoveries led Niels Bohr to propose a radical theory of the atom, which was partially successful in explaining the emission spectra of the hydrogen atom. Niels Bohr was compelled to introduce the principle of "complementarity," i.e., that light is both a particle and a wave.

The modern theories were extended when Max Born showed that the distribution of energy was a function of probability. Further, Werner Heisenberg wrote the principle of uncertainty, which says that it is impossible to determine the exact location of an electron and the vector direction of its momentum at the same time.

This was followed with the masterstroke penned by Erwin Schrödinger. Using the "psi function" of quantum mechanics, Schrödinger could map the "wave field" of any particle, thus giving us a theoretical explanation for the structure of an atom and the entire periodic table of the elements.

Quantum mechanics predicts that a wave of a single frequency would stretch out to infinite proportions; the superposition of a narrow range of frequencies produces a standing wave function which can be localized to a much more precise location. Thus the electron and its position within an atom becomes a cloud of probability.

From this I infer that there are such states as being right and being wrong, within certain parameters of uncertainty. Applying the psi function, the more vague the statement of the man, the greater the probability of his being correct. The narrower and more specific his utterance, the greater the likelihood of his being wrong.

Also, the principle of complementarity assures us that if a man alone in the woods speaks, and his wife can not hear him, he is BOTH right and wrong--until he comes out of the woods.

In Schrödinger's cat analogy, the cat in the box is both dead and alive until someone opens the lid. The act of observing the phenomenon determines the outcome.

Thus, the inevitable conclusion is that it doesn't matter what the man says; only his wife can determine whether or not he is correct.

Basically you take a dosage of a [completely legal] substance that allows you to enter the mythic realm.

Got any papers I can read on this?
