What the Bleep!?: Down the Rabbit Hole Page #15
a world of only two dimensions.
Only forwards and
backwards left and right.
In this world there
is no up and no down.
And I said to Ray "Where's Dotty?"
He said "Well she's out in
Line. " And I said "Well"-
Where's that from? What
the bleep is that thing?
In this world the two-dimensional
beings that live here...
have no concept of
three-dimensional objects.
These two-dimensional Flatlanders...
have no understanding of cubes...
spheres tetrahedrons...
or yours truly.
From their 2-D perspective...
my 3-D finger looks
something like this.
Oh my gosh.
- What in the flat earth is that?
- Did you see that?
Run!
Hello little circle.
Fear of the unknown...
or should I say not yet known?
It's a puzzle.
If we see only what we know...
how does anyone ever see
anything new the unknown?
How do we ever get out of our box?
Hello little circle.
Don't be afraid.
Who said that? Where are you?
This is always the
tricky part to explain.
I'm in another dimension another space.
I am above you.
No never never use that word.
- What word?
- The "A" word.
Above?
It's forbidden.
Well what do you think it means?
I don't know and I don't want to know.
You can be severely punished
if you use that word.
Are you a ghost?
I hope not.
I just have a different
perspective than you do.
I can see things in a way you can't yet.
Oh yeah? Like what?
Well okay.
You have a safe hidden in your pantry.
And inside it...
you have 12 coins a will and a passport.
How did you know that? What are you?
Are you a god?
Well no more than you.
you see since I am above you...
in the third dimension...
I can see inside things in your world.
Third dimension? You are a crazy ghost.
There's only two. Look.
So if I were to touch the
inside of your stomach...
how would I do that?
Well you'd have to cut through my skin.
Otherwise it's impossible.
Stop stop.
Ready for more?
- More what?
- Dimensions.
- Oh.
- Directions.
Uh no yes but-
But there aren't any...
more?
What will happen to
me? What will I become?
You'd have to become it to know.
- Okay.
- Excellent.
I never knew.
Isn't it funny?
That which we are most afraid of...
is what thrills us the most.
That has the effect of
randomizing their x-spins...
and nothing else interesting
happened to them after that.
Okay.
Um good.
It's an easy way to get a laugh here.
So you can't ask them their opinion 'cause
you know what they're gonna tell you.
"You're starting to act different.
I liked you better the other way. "
And that's a great sign
that you're making a change.
You can edit that though if
you had to though couldn't you?
- Ah-
- Ah-
Not prettily.
Where-Who can do the Heimlich?
Okay. Are we rolling?
I study quantum physics.
I sometimes teach it.
I have written a book on
quantum physics and many books...
explicating the meaning
of quantum physics.
After my Ph. D. from
Harvard I went to CERN...
a European laboratory
for particle research...
but perhaps I'm best
known for the discovery...
of the now famous N=1 locally supersymmetric
flipped SU5 grand unified field theory.
Don't make the mistake...
of thinking that the scientific
community is scientific.
Uh-
Two points. First of all I
want to thank David for uh-
Healthy skepticism is important...
and extraordinary claims
require extraordinary proof.
Um now the problem is...
that people defending the
conventional approach to consciousness-
brain equals mind equals computer-
uh behave as if they've
got proof and we don't.
And they got-
Okay? Pardon my-
Which form the neuronets
in the first place.
Which is what? The mind.
What's the mind?
The mind-Thank you.
This is called divine intervention.
From above.
But he has feet of clay.
I got involved with this because my evidence
- No. Start over.
Go back in time.
- I can go back And fix that. Okay.
- That's right. You can.
Okay. Um my name is Lynne McTaggart.
I'm author of a book called The Field.
I'm Dr. Daniel Monti. I'm a physician...
with specialty training in
psychiatry and human behavior.
I'm on the full-time faculty at
the Jefferson Medical College.
I've heard some people
say that consciousness...
is this wonderful
property in the universe...
that has a predilection
for the human brain.
If that's the case then consciousness...
is about three pounds and looks a
little bit like a gray cauliflower.
- It's showtime.
- ... tell you a little about myself.
Um
- Oh. The light is blinking already.
- See? This is What happens whenever I speak. Weir
-
Weird things happen.
Okay.
All right. Well-
Look. When I hold it it
stays on. What does that mean?
All right.
- Oh. It's okay. Maybe God wants me to meet you.
- Hi.
Actually we did this at a conference...
when we asked people uh how many
people have had a gut feeling and so on.
And 80% of the people say
- And then we say...
Among those of you who are audience who
doesn't believe in any of this stuff-
How many of you guys
have had interesting
Eighty percent.
So when people are skeptical
about unusual things...
it's completely understandable because
there's all kinds of nonsense out there.
But when you bring those
phenomena into the lab...
and you exclude all of the ordinary
ways of understanding them...
it turns out that they do
have a psychic component.
Here we are actually
filming great thinkers.
Everyone in this room
is a great thinker...
now that we got 'em thinking.
That's always a trick isn't it?
You probably have
more to say about this.
No.
- Sorry about that.
- That's okay.
...multiple personality disorder have
to say about the seat of consciousness?
And the second one is...
what made you want to become
a physicist at the age of 50?
Okay. Well I guess multiple
personality disorder.
I actually wanted to become a physicist as
young as the age of four believe it or not.
As we become more and more
inner-self-managed okay...
we will manifest...
the qualities of these deeper
levels down the rabbit hole.
And so we become a qigong master...
where we can influence things
So if we begin to look at all that...
it seems to me the only way
out that I can understand...
is there is an intelligent presence.
There is kind of a
"one-mindedness" that I call it -
or God if you want to call it that.
Ponder that for a while.
- Perfect. -
Thank you. Um-
What did I say? What are
you gonna do with that?
A bite! You took a bite out of nowhere!
Okay. That's good.
