[MD] Quantum Enigma

[MarshaV]

Everybody in the world may know this but moi, but I find it terribly exciting:


   "To argue that conscious experience goes beyond ordinary knowing, we are told the story of Mary, a scientist of the future who knows all there is to know abut the perception of color.  But she has never been outside a room where everything is black or white.  One day she is shown something red.  For the first time, Mary _experiences_ red.  Her experience of red is something _beyond_ her complete knowledge of red.  Or is it?  You can no doubt generate for yourself the pro and con arguments that the Mary story provokes."  


>>>>> (Rosenblum & Kuttner,'Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness', p.180,2006)    




Somehow this represents the difference between 'probabilities' and 'possibilities,' but don't ask me to explain.
