<< You must cool test apparatus to near zero Kelvin to measure this quantum
vacuum forces with the best equipment we know of. Some people cannot resist making sweeping generalizations. Until there are numbers associated with this idle speculation, and that will not be easy, given the difficulty of measuring consciousness, it is just bovine excrement. Once again the philosophers have
contributed nothing, and the physicists everything. >>
