Of course, they are self-conscious

Why should I believe or trust an animation which sites no specific scientific study. Not to mention, the fact that that came from the move "What the Bleep do we know" which is J.Z. Knights cult propaganda film. She killed her husband by telling him he could get rid of a life threatening disease with his thoughts and her practice. He tried to sue her after his illness was terminal and his death was imminent. But he died. I think she's a very evil and psychopathic woman. And while I do not doubt the idea of superpositioning. I'm not going to accept it as fact simply because a nice little "informative" animation told me to. And technically, if they left the measuring device up without looking at it while it was happening and simply recorded the information without watching during the process, hypothetically speaking there'd be no observer, just other matter. And through that they could see. Now if the result was still two lines after the camera had been up with no observer that'd be something to think about.

That's true. However, that's only because the way in which we observe them. We observe electrons by bouncing light waves (photos) off of them. The absorption and radiations of the photons cause the electrons to act differently. Therefore we don’t know how to observe electrons in their natural state. Intelligence has nothing to do with it.

In order to be "observed" an electron must interact with a photon of light. This interaction inevitably alters the behavior of the electron. Beware of charlatans who attempt to infer mystical meaning from this simple fact. The Copenhagen crowd were a cabal of religious zealots who tried to use this phenomenon to promote a kind of scientific solipsism, to imply that consciousness could actually alter physical reality, thus legitimizing religion and prayer. It's been nearly a hundred years and physics is still suffering from the damage those unprincipled speculators did.

This is the basic tenet of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Theory. The very fact of observation changes the nature and position of the electron being observed, and, therefore, its behavior becomes unpredictable.

How would you know that? The only way to tell if they're acting a different way is to...observe them.

Of course. Western mechanistic soulless "science" is coming to an end. Everything is alive, all is one, and all is a part of the one consciousness. "Primitive people" have known this for tens of thousands of years. The terminally arrogant and clueless among us are having a hard time coming to terms.

Btw, once you understand this truth, just think how magickal your life can be. Contemplate why and how!! :)))

Nope, and I still don't. I know they act differently depending on how they are observed, but I can't know how they act when they are not being observed at all, so I can't compare and say different or not different.
