Why there is something rather than nothing...

[bennyboy]

Guys, this only goes for a few minutes... Watch it and tell me if you think that consciousness really does play a role in how we perceive our subjective reality.

I'd almost say this very clip should be a sticky post, because it is central to very much of the science/philosophic debates we've had on these forums.  For example, Rhythm and I have often referred to QM in arguments about the nature of the Universe. It's a very good clip, and worth its own thread IMO.

--edit--

This, btw, is one of the reasons that I favor an idealistic world view, rather than a physical monist one, and why I shy away from determinism.
