Lyn has been getting into the ‘double slit experiment’ recently. At first I was a little dismissive, but a couple of evenings ago, she showed some some youtube videos on it, and how the presence of an observer seems to effect the result. I’ve been puzzling over it all day, watching apparently well-founded things like this. can that be true, and can things exist only insofar as someone is there to observe them? I’m now very curious indeed: the more I look, the more puzzling things seem, and what I assumed was baseless speculation seems more and more well-founded. Can reality really be a hologram, existing only when we observe it?

I suppose this theory really appeals to me – after all, I try to be a postmodern sort of guy – but it is a bit of a mind-fuck…..that is, assuming my mind isn’t a hologram.
