In 2005 a movie was released in the USA by the title of “What the blip do we know?” I was there, I went to see it and... it changed my life! It did not change my life in the physical or material sense, but it certainly gave a huge shove to my mind and to the way I used to consider “reality.” I remember that there was not a big audience in the cinema. Some of the spectators even left a few minutes after the show had begun. They must have found it boring, had they expected something “exciting” like action, thrill, crime, love.... In fact, it was a movie about “quantum physics“!!
But for me, and some people I know, “What the blip” was the most interesting, intriguing, mind-boggling thing we had ever seen. It revolves around the interviews made to different kinds of “professionals“: Most are physicists, but there are also doctors, religion scholars, psychologists and the like. The whole thing is spiced up with beautiful pictures, cartoons and even funny scenes from a Polish wedding. But the IDEA behind the making of this movie is: we don’t know a “blip” (we know nothing) about what reality is. The “experts” basically say that, as reality is based on an unstable quantum field of non-defined matter, our mind has the capability of molding reality according to our beliefs. All possibilities are available in every instant of everyone’s existence and they collapse into “one” only through the intention (often unconscious), the attention (often misguided), the belief (often wrong) of the human mind.
A quantum physicist I like a lot for his ironical expression and quizzical words, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, says that quantum particles (either the matter “or” the wave form of the sub-atomic world) are totally unstable and appear and disappear all the time, before being perceived in one way or another. He asks: “When these particles disappear, where do they go?” In fact, where? Another scientist I previously mentioned, Brian Greene, says: “A theory that is being considered proposes that – when quantum particles disappear for a time (no matter how minuscule such time is) – they actually manifest into another dimension, possibly a parallel Universe”. They cannot just disappear and be “no-where.” According to science, “no-where” cannot exist in a physical Universe. This brings us to consider the possibility that, every time there is a choice to be made, we – personally – see and experience the one we make, while the other possible one (that we don’t make) has its own existence somewhere else. Therefore, when we talk of other planes of existence, we can accept the idea that all our choices become real in other Universes. According to logic, it is a conceivable possibility.
Another consideration that stirs the mind (since it was first proposed by the iconic movie “The Matrix“) is that our world might be a sort of “game” where we are the characters who are induced to believe that what we experience is actually true, while... it is not. If you don’t want to accept the possibility that we are living in a materially and physically fake world, created by an experimenting scientist, you may nevertheless accept the possibility that at least your mental world may not be real. Actually, this is what Positive Thinking has been preaching for a very long time. Remember, “We are the masters of our lives“? What does this mean? Doesn’t it mean that we are in charge of our car (ship, plane or whatever means of locomotion we are using), while moving through life? Aren’t we the ones who make all the decisions about how to drive it, what our destination is, the road by which we want to reach it?
And isn’t this what also quantum physics says when it suggests a not-already-defined reality where all choices are allowed and, therefore, all outcomes are possible? Think of yourself when you are planning a possible holiday. First, you decide that you “want” to go on a holiday (another possibility: You decide you don’t want or cannot go right now). Second, you make up your mind about “where” you want to go (Jeddah? Paris? London? Sharm-El-Sheikh?). Third, you choose the time (when and for how long). You also select the means of transportation (car, plane…) you prefer to use and the route: direct, one stop, two stops? So, once you have decided that you want to go to London, next month, for a week, by plane, with a stop in Paris.... there you go! Your “choice” has become “reality”.
