Everything I Think I See -- Part 1: The Science of Observing
You've probably heard people say, "Life is what you make of it." Or how about, "Life is but a dream." In the years to come, science might just prove them right. In Part 1 of 3, find out what quantum theory has to say about this interesting topic and how we may, in fact, create our own reality. It's all science that frequently makes its way into our favorite SF stories.
