universe gives you what you're looking at when you're looking at it |

Experiment in the physics lab at Caltech, originally done in 1928, shows something really rather extraordinary, and that is that matter, even though it behaves when you're looking at it, when you're measuring it, as individual particles, when you're not measuring it, matter is diffuse. It spreads out. In a PlayStation 3, an example of that is SimCity. It's an enormous city. I can navigate my way through every bit of it because the PlayStation, the video game, gives me the frame that I need when I'm looking there. If I look somewhere else, it'll create that frame. Well, oddly enough, the universe behaves that way in reality. The universe gives you what you're looking at when you're looking at it. When you're not looking at it, it's not necessarily there.
