Korea Today

In Korea, the birth rate is really low and dropping. People want a bright future for their child. If they feel their children would not be able to get a job and have a good life, they probably would put off having children. Then there are those who choose not to have children for other reasons.

Consciousness Creates Reality?

Doubt it, but it does surely affect reality.

Maybe taking information from the electrons in the double slit experiment causes it to lose just enough energy to cause it to become a particle.



And did you know that anything traveling at the speed of light experiences no time, and is mostly likely two dimensional (according to today's knowledge of dimensions)? Speed makes things flatter until at the speed of light, flatness approaches infinity.
