6. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is based on the realization in the 1920s that
light manifests as a nonlocal continuous wave or as discrete particles depending
on the choice and will of the observer. There is inherent uncertainty in observation
of small particles because it is impossible to discern simultaneously and with
high accuracy both the position and the momentum of a particle such as an electron
or photon. The very act of observing and measuring inherently changes the
nature of the particle wave. The observer effect is based on the realization by
researchers (not just in the “hard” sciences such as physics, but also in anthropology
and other social sciences) that the act of observation necessarily influences
whatever is being observed. The apparent subject/object split is increasingly seen
to be illusory. For more information on these ideas, see Fritjof Capra, The Tao of
Physics and The Turning Point; Gary Zukav, The Dancing Wu Li Masters; Ishtak
Bentov, Stalking the Wild Pendulum; Fred Alan Wolf, Mind Into Matter; Amit
Goswami, The Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material
World; and others.
