"What the Bleep Do We Know?"

In the documentary, “What the Bleep Do We Know?” fascinating topics regarding life are discussed. One topic that really caught my attention dealt with water. A scientist put words on water bottles, and then studied the shapes and characteristics that the water formed. When no words were on the bottle, no shapes appeared, but when caring words were put on the bottle the water formed shapes similar to the commercial snowflake. A phrase regarding murder was placed on one bottle, and the water revealed a horrific shape with a deep yellow color. The question was raised in the documentary asking if words could do that to water then what could our thoughts do to our bodies. Another issue was raised about our sight. The eyes are simply lenses that take in large amounts of information to our brain, but the only objects that we actually envision are the ones that our brain can process. For example, when Columbus’ ships embarked on their long journey to America the Indians could not see their ships on the horizon. This was because they did not know that ships existed so their brain could not process the objects. One member of the tribe noticed the ripples on the water, and questioned why they were created. After days upon days of staring at the water, he finally saw the ships because he had conditioned himself. Whether these theories are the truth still remains a mystery. Many other questions involving Quantum Physics were discussed. I highly recommend that everyone watch this documentary!
