These are a few of the links that I mentioned... Jon has one on Metzinger that is really relevant too.
The questions that are raised by quantum philosophy and the experiments that have been conducted over the years are incredible. The possibility that the act of looking changes the behaviour of an atom (or even shapes its existence) has deep implications on our perception of our existence.
Do we in some way, by seeing, form our perception of our world? Or do we live in a predetermined reality through which we tunnel only ever encountering what we perceive and with only a fixed set of choices? The concept of 'choice' is heavily under threat.
The double slit experiment is fascinating and has provoked much of these questions considered by quantum philosophy. This is a animation but it's simple and you get the idea.
Double Slit ExperimentThis gets into the whole Quantum subject in more detail. It's crazy stuff...
This guy was really involved in Quantum physics and worked with Einstein and Bohr. He coined the terms 'black hole' and 'wormhole' - he must be cool!
