Globes of goo


What the bleep do we know was a vary odd movie. By the time human hormones started being visualized as singing/ dancing globes of goo it dawned on me that this movie was obviously Canadian or British. I did like how the movie seamlessly transitioned from one field of science to an other, from playing quantum basketball to dancing with flubber. During the quantum basketball scene they really did do a good job in explaining the observer effect, in which there are always a million possibilities for the universe floating out there until an observer is present, at witch time all the possibilities condense in to one. I have alway herd this phenomenon explained differently (a proton beam fires a stream of protons at two slots and according to the math the protons should theoretically be going though both slots creating a shadow of two slots on a back wall, but when scientists finally observed the experiment they discovered that the protons chose to go though both slots at the same time creating a wave like pattern on the back wall.)
