So if the WFC can only be 'known' through conscious observation, would it still 'exist' if there were no such observation? If so, how? and if not, how is it possible that it can be interracted with? Just thinking out loud here.
It doesn't require "conscious" observation. Other particles can act as the observer, for the observer effect. The new age market continually misses this fact, instead claiming only Human Consciousness can act as the observer because then they can claim you personally create reality, which meshes with their new age paradigm to sell you books.
Every point in the universe is linked to every other point.

I think you might be interested in this. I've not been able to put it down!
Quantum Physics...and the Human Soul
It's taken me awhile to get through, but only because I keep getting my mind blown. The same concepts (written earlier) can also be found in Michael Talbot's The Holographic Universe.
****Caution: Both books will blow the mind and/or rock ones face off. Proceed at your own risk. O.O

Ya this whole reality is fake, I suppose there is a reason why were all here, and there is a reason why I am here. And those reasons are.....those reasons are.
I think we all just suck at imagining anything better and so were stuck in this sucky world of our sucky making. I need to get out of here, the door is always ever so slightly ever beyond my reach, and so got to start making some better games then this zero sum game.
You are a marvelous being, who has willingly agreed to cast away the knowledge of his power and forget entirely who he is, in order to have an adventurous existence as a manifested form on Earth. Apparently, you're not too happy about this decision.edit on 18-10-2012 by Visitor2012 because: (no reason given)

As an example:
To demonstrate this, Weizmann Institute researchers built a tiny device measuring less than one micron in size, which had a barrier with two openings. They then sent a current of electrons towards the barrier. The "observer" in this experiment wasn't human. Institute scientists used for this purpose a tiny but sophisticated electronic detector that can spot passing electrons. The quantum "observer's" capacity to detect electrons could be altered by changing its electrical conductivity, or the strength of the current passing through it.
Apart from "observing," or detecting, the electrons, the detector had no effect on the current. Yet the scientists found that the very presence of the detector-"observer" near one of the openings caused changes in the interference pattern of the electron waves passing through the openings of the barrier. In fact, this effect was dependent on the "amount" of the observation: when the "observer's" capacity to detect electrons increased, in other words, when the level of the observation went up, the interference weakened; in contrast, when its capacity to detect electrons was reduced, in other words, when the observation slackened, the interference increased.

Still waiting for the proof of existence of these so-called "immaterial souls"...

There's your proof.
Well, where is it? You posted a YouTube video, that's it. That's not proof.
