"In Wigner's interpretation of quantum theory, the minds of sentient beings occupy a central role in the laws of nature and in the organization of the universe, for it is precisely when the information about an observation enters the consciousness of an observer that the superposition of waves actually collapses into reality. Thus, in a sense, the whole cosmic panorama is generated by its own inhabitants... A more serious objection to Wigner's ideas is exposed if two observers become involved in observing the same system, for then each has the power to collapse it into reality."

"You shall not make a carved image for yourself nor the likeness of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God."
