Just the metaphysical description of universe change. Read the links I posted above, Scott Adams pretty wells sums up where I'm coming from.

Ok, I read a great deal of the links (not all, they were quite long). I don't necessarily agree with the conclusion he draws, but it's very very interesting stuff. It reminds me of the movie What the #(*$&% Do We Know. In part of the movie they talk about people being addicted to certain emotions, as each emotion has a certain brain chemical related to it. These people sub-conciously put themselves in the same situations over and over to satisfy their need for that chemical.

If anyone hasn't seen that movie, I highly recommend it. You want find a more entertaining movie about quantum physics.
