Snow again?

Last night we saw snow again in Seattle.  Since I grew up and went to college in CA, the idea of snow around my home is still new to me.  I have at least one appointment rescheduled and another one still in question because of the icy roads. Some of the snow has melted, but here's the view outside my window right now.  Hopefully, it'll be dry enough to run later this afternoon...maybe we should stick to flat roads today, though. 

I recently watched "What the Bleep? Down the Rabbit Hole."  It's a documentary, interlaced with theatrical scenes to help explain the concepts.  The main character is played by Marlee Matlin.  Without trying to sound too dorky, if you like physics and math, you'll really like this movie.  If you moderately like science, but like hearing about mind-bending phenomena you'll also find some interesting points to this movie.  Anyways, the movie is a look at how our thoughts and reaction to events and other things around us change the outcome of our physical reality.  There are examples of experiments done to try to prove this.

You'll have to give me a little room for creative interpretation here because it's been many years since I've taken quantum physics and my math only goes up to Differential Equations (which was also long forgotten).  The movie explores how we perceive reality and process the images we see by using analogies from quantum mechanics and neurobiology.  There is the idea that thought carries a wave of energy and that different thoughts emit different energies, and therefore effect our physical world in different ways.  Huh?  Okay, there is an experiement done by Dr. Masaru Emoto involving water crystals.  He had one drop of water on the petri dish, and a word or phrase next to each drop.  He treated the controls and each experiement the same way.  Each drop was at room temperature for the same amount of time, each was put in the same freezer for the same amount of time, etc.  The dishes that had the words, "Chi of Love," "thank you," and other positive phrases all had beautiful, symmetric crystal patterns.  The dishes that held phrases such as "I hate you," or "I want to kill you," had very disruptive, assymetrical crystal patterns.
