Web Search for "Quantum Nonlocality" - The seeming connection of sub-atomic particles over distances. A change to one results in an immediate change to the other.

Our "local realistic" view of the world assumes that phenomena are separated by time and space
and that no influence can travel faster than the speed of light. Quantum nonlocality proves that
these assumptions are incorrect....
"The mechanists'
old dream of plotting the future vector of each particle in the universe was destroyed, but this
was not the most disturbing feature of the new atomic model. What really astonished the
physicists of the 1920's, when quantum theory assumed the shape it still has today, was the fact
that the existence of the phenomena they were studying was dependent on their consciousness
cognizing the event."
Web Search for "Uncertainty Principle" - The state of a particle can never be determined with certainty. The act of measuring a particle changes it. This has implications for consciousness.
