Quantum Physics: More causality weirdness (General)

David's comment: the two bolds are exactly my point. It seems as if the reality we experience is grounded in quick sand.

> dhw; Here is another astonishing experiment conducted by Quantum Physics Professor Mia Pratt, from the University of London. She read about a research project at Princeton, which concluded that “there may be no objective reality at all”, and their findings implied “that by our conscious intent we bring into manifestation what we want to perceive - that we can and do shape our reality” (my bold). Another research project threw into question the causal order of events, which led a prominent retired physician to comment “it seems as if the reality we experience is grounded in quick sand.” At 4.30 pm on Friday 19 August 2016, at the height of the rush hour, Professor Pratt positioned herself on the pavement between bus stops in Oxford Street, to wait for a 159 bus (we do not know why it had to be a 159, but quantum science is a weird business). At 5 pm (London buses are often a long time a'comin') the bus came into view. At 5.01 pm, she stepped from the pavement into the road. Eyewitnesses all agree that her face was contorted with intense concentration, as if she were somehow making a conscious effort to shape her reality. Her obituary, written by her esteemed colleague Professor Ivor Theery, will appear in The Times tomorrow. I have had a sneak preview. He concludes: “It seems as if the reality we experience may not be grounded in quicksand after all.”-It seems Professor Pratt went splat!. Her mea culpa.
