The front motors are already pretty long. how should i increase the angle,
shaft point more toward the ground or sky?

Yes, that experiment that you mentioned is quite real.
It is a different interpretation of quantum theory
than the collapsing wave function (What Penrose says
microtubules do). The collapsing wave function view
basically says that the moon exists in a superposition
of states until it is observed, the wave function then
collapses into what is seen as the moon. (the moon
only exists when you look at it). The view held by
the physicists who did the experiment is referred to
as decoherence. In a nut shell what that view tells
us is that there is no collapse of the wave function,
instead that quantum fuzziness gives way to the
tangible by means of interactions of one system
causing the superposition of another system to become
"unglued"... Think about that, it is possible the
world in which we live is nothing more than a phase
difference in possibilities. Maybe the thing we
experience as mind is simply a negative entropy
feedback loop into this phase difference. Maybe, just
maybe, our BEAM creations are already "alive" but we
are to arrogant to see it.
