Reality doesn't
exist until observed
During one of the
healthy debates Niels Bohr put a fundamental concept of quantum physics to
Einstein that a particle (object) does not exist until it is observed;
Einstein’s argument was that, “consider the speeding car to be a particle
(object) and if I do not observe it, that means it does not exist and there is
no question of me getting run over by that car”
I have not studied Quantum Physics, but I find this to be very interesting
The only door Houdini
could not open was the one that was not locked
Harry Houdini made a name for himself by escaping from every
imaginable confinement -- from straightjackets to multiple pairs of handcuffs
clamped to his arms, including the ones that were specially made for him which
took five years to make. He boasted that
no jail cell could hold him. Time and again, he would be locked in a cell only
to reappear minutes later.
It worked every time -- but one. He accepted another invitation to
demonstrate his skill. He entered the cell, and the jail cell door shut. He began working the lock. But something was wrong. No matter how hard
Houdini worked, he couldn't unlock the lock. For two hours he applied skill and
experience to the lock but failed time and time again. Two hours later he gave
up in frustration.
The problem? The cell had never been locked. Houdini worked himself
to near exhaustion trying to achieve what could be accomplished by simply
pushing the door open. The only place
the door was locked was in his mind.
Similarly, Faith is not a complex process. It is not the result of
years of education, pilgrimages, or flashy supernatural experiences. The door
to belief is ready to open and is locked only in the minds of those who choose
to believe it is.
