"In quantum mechanics...
an observation here and now changes in
general the ‘state’ of the observed system...
I consider the unpredictable change
of the state by a single observation...
to be an abandonment of the idea of
the isolation of the observer from the
course of physical events outside himself."

"The cosmos is within us.
We are made of star-stuff.
We are a way for the
universe to know itself."
- Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996)
