Really? No, the experiment does not "change the odds of a coin flip". It could maybe change the odds on each choice that the subject of the experiment makes. But even that isn't new. People's choices aren't 50/50 to begin with (due to cultural and social reasons usually).<p>""When a tree falls in the woods and no one's around, does it make a sound? Well, is there money in it for me either way? No? Then I don't care." Life could be made so simple."<p>Again. Really? Yes, life could be made so simple. It's called idiocracy. Let's stop arguing philosophy, arts and literature unless we stand to make money. How have we managed to transform money from the means for a working society to the ultimate goal for our social actions is beyond me. But since there is no money in finding the answer, who cares right?
