Read a fascinating article about a series of experiments showing, impossibly, that simply by observing photons changes the path they take (from Discover magazine). It gets even wierder when the physicist claims that it appears past events can be changed likewise. Whether true or not, the article insists that the universe is a much more interactive place than we can imagine. A week later I read that one of the Vatican's top scientists (I forget his name, but he heads the Vatican astronomy dep't) said that his notion of God is not as an autocrat. God as a jazz improvisationalist I guess...
