 "From Elizabeth's point of view, the state vector does not collapse when Ernest tells Eugene, "Got a live cat in here, after all." The state vector in Elizabeth's universe only collapses when Eugene rushes to a phone, a fax, a computer net or whatever and transmits the signal, "Live cat this time." For Elizabeth, the state vector collapsed when the signal arrived. The signal, then, collapsed the state vector, in Elizabeth's universe.
A fourth physicist, Robin, waits anxiously to hear what electronic message Elizabeth has received.. .and in Robin's world, the state vector has not collapsed yet.."- Robert Anton Wilson, Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You and Your World (Get the book.) |
 "Fourth Collapse: Another Outside Chemical Exposure
The fourth collapse occurred in June 1997 after pitching on the mound at the same playground where she had collapsed before and where another child was said to have also collapsed and died. Again, Chrissy had to be rushed to the hospital. This time she did not live. She died in a coma six days later. The diagnosis at this time was a heart problem. Her electrocardiogram showed a prolonged QT abnormality, similar to the EKG taken in 1995 when she had collapsed at school.
Could Chemicals Be the Culprit?"- Doris Rapp, Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call (Get the book.) |
 "When they collapse the same amount it creates a certain amount of imbalance. When they collapse at different degrees that's what starts to affect even more imbalance higher up above the feet.
"We do some passive manipulation such as in house physical therapy, but we generally leave that to the chiropractors and the therapists. What we do mainly is spot the imbalances and handle them with various treatment modalities. The most common approach is to go over what shoes they are wearing currently. We go over each pair and instruct them on what would be a better biomechanically sound shoe for them."- Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) |
 "Biopsies of the lung occasionally cause the lung to collapse. If that happens, a tube needs to be inserted inside the chest to reexpand the lung. Perforated colons and collapsed lungs are rough even for the young. For the elderly and the debilitated, they can be deadly.
Nevertheless, even these deep biopsies are relatively safe. Perforated colons occur in, at most, one-half of 1 percent of colon biopsies, while collapsed lungs occur in about 5 percent of lung biopsies.18
That said, it's still no picnic."- H. Gilbert Welch M.D. M.P.H., Should I Be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not and Here's Why (Get the book.) |
 "Because it's impossible to sustain enough energy to keep all of them going forever, eventually they collapse into a single state—the most stable one, which we see as our "reality."
Figure 8. In the Penrose interpretation, there are many possibilities (A, B, C, D, and so on) that eventually collapse into a single reality simply because it requires too much energy to sustain them all indefinitely. While all of the possibilities exist at some point in time, the state that needs the lowest amount of energy is the most stable and the one that we experience as our reality."- Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.) |
 "When such a person falls asleep, the airway is no longer held open and starts to collapse, and the person begins to snore. When the airway collapses completely, the person continues to try to breathe, but air does not get in. This is "apnea," and it usually results in the patient's waking up. These periods of apnea may also cause the body to receive insufficient oxygen, leading to high blood pressure or even heart disease.
A milder form of sleep-disturbed breathing is called upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS)."- Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) |
 "NASAL VALVE COLLAPSE
Nasal valve collapse refers to the collapse of the cartilage supporting the tip of the nose. When you breathe in and the cartilage is too weak to hold up against the airflow, the airway collapses. This is seen frequently in older people and in those who have had cosmetic surgery on the nose (rhinoplasty).
If you have nasal valve collapse, your doctor may recommend nasal reconstruction. This involves surgically adding cartilage to the nasal tip and is performed in an operating room under general or local anesthesia."- Debra Fulghum Bruce, The Sinus Cure: 7 Simple Steps to Relieve Sinusitis and Other Ear, Nose, and Throat Conditions (Get the book.) |
 "If they are osteopenic, the end plates of the bony cylinder can collapse, creating "codfish" vertebrae, so called because they acquire the shape of fish vertebrae. This type of fracture has little consequence in terms of posture. However, if the anterior wall (the wall facing forward) collapses, the cylinder assumes a wedge shape, creating a forward-leaning curve to the thoracic spine ?a kyphosis, or "dowager's hump." The result is additional loss in stature and some degree of deformity."- Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) |

 "When not driven by drugs or genuine brain diseases, madness or psychosis is caused by a collapse of personal relationships with others. Human beings become "crazy" when they feel isolated, fearful, and distrustful in regard to everyone else in their lives. Some of the most gratifying work as a therapist involves building relationships with very disturbed individuals. In the context of a safe therapeutic relationship, these people often "come back to reality" in a relatively short time.

 "Yet I hesitate to recommend eating wild foods because so many of them are endangered; many wild fish stocks are on the verge of collapse because of overfishing. Up to now, all the recommendations I've offered here pose no conflict between what's best for your health and what's best for the environment. Indeed, most of them support farming and ranching practices that improve the health of the land and the water. But not this one, sorry to say. There are not enough wild animals

 "People with NMS can die of pneuomonia, renal failure, seizures, respiratory failure, and cardiovascular collapse.
Betty didn't die, but she never came all the way back. Although she gradually became conscious, everything wasn't the same as before. She was put on another antipsychotic and closely monitored, but things were never the same. She returned to the residence but it didn't work out. She was slower, dumber, more tentative, and scared. A sort of permanent fuzziness set in, and she couldn't keep the voices at bay. The cigarettes and soap operas didn't matter. She wasn't well."- Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) |
 "B) When plants are treated with the fungal toxin brefeldin A (BFA), protein secretion from the Golgi complex is inhibited and the early Gogli cisternae collapse into the endoplasmic reticulum. When wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings are treated with BFA, PIN1 exocytosis is blocked, endocytosis continues, andPIN1 is sequestered in BFA-sensitive intracellular bodies (Geldner et al, 2001). When BFA is washed out of the cells with buffer or flavonols, PIN1 exocytosis resumes as in A, and PIN1 is again observed on the PM."- Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.) |
| "Although it would have been to his advantage in his malpractice suit to remember the most painful and humiliating details of the collapse of his dental practice and family life, he simply couldn't. For example, he had no recollection of the many days in which he went into acute withdrawal in the office, became incoherent and unable to function, and had to be given additional Xanax before he could recover.
Ron also suffered permanent neurological damage that affected his peripheral nervous system. In his case it manifested as a partial loss of hand-eye coordination." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) |
 "The Persian commanders who watched their artificial mountain spewing smoke and flame out of every gap saw both the collapse of their siege engine and of the siege itself. Edessa had saved itself, and paid Khusro a token payment to speed him on his way back to Persia.
Without any perspective from his own subjects, all of whose accounts have vanished behind the seventh-century fall of Persia's empire, Khusro's historical reputation derives largely from contemporary Roman historians, and to them he presents very much a mixed bag."- William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) |
| "The latter is a potentially lethal reaction similar to a life-threatening viral encephalitis in how it causes fever, global mental disruption, rigidity, coma, collapse, and death.
Risperdal also can cause tardive dyskinesia, a persistent and usually irreversible disorder that causes disfiguring grimaces and tics and potentially disabling

| "But shift the pressure even slightly off center, and the pillar is likely to collapse. As a result, the books receiving all that stress—the piers—had to be either truly massive (so that the stress is countered by sheer weight), or buttressed in some way*
From the arch to the dome is a far smaller leap than from the post-and-beam to the arch; a dome, after all, is essentially a group of arches set in a circle." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) |
| "But by virtually every social measure, according to such comprehensive and masterly studies as Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone: The collapse and Revival of American Community, Americans are increasingly living in their own atomized and self-absorbed realities. Even as the lives of most Americans have become more materially comfortable and technologically more convenient, our Edward Hopperish aspects—the isolated brooding, solitary existence of people passing each other at late-night diners—have become ever more pronounced." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) |
 "In November 1997, ill and deprived of energy by lack of adrenalin, she collapsed. This collapse and the conditions that followed were indicative of an autoimmune disease.
By 1998, Shirley was bed-bound, and she was to be in this condition for the next 18 months. When she later managed to get hold of her medical records, she saw that on her notes during 1995, her doctor had written: 'Personality the largest part of the problem."- Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.) |
 "The global climate is crashing, full of tipping points and feedback loops beyond which the slow creep of environmental decay gives way to sudden self-perpetuating collapse. Vital balances are degrading in the atmosphere, in the oceans and freshwater systems, and in productive soils. The consequences include the greenhouse effect and a reduction of the productivity of seas, lakes, rivers, and agricultural lands.
A number of critical processes feed on themselves and are out of control."- Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) |
| "Nonetheless, the Persians rightly believed that if they could force a collapse on the Roman left, their superior forces could easily cross Belisarius's trench, wheel left, and roll up the remainder of the defenders. Firuz might already have been planning rhe menu for his promised lunch.
What he did not know is that Belisarius had placed his small but fearsome division of Herulian horsemen on the reverse slope of the small hill that anchored the Romans' left flank—available, but hidden from the enemy." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "After the collapse of Silverius's fifth column, Vitigis agreed to a brief truce so that he could regroup. Belisarius took advantage of the truce to bring in supplies and several thousand reinforcements of Isaurian infantry and Thracian cavalry. When combat resumed, it had taken on a more measured scale; a few dozen soldiers on either side, mostly on horse (and therefore able to refuse battle whenever it suited them) might come into contact, but most of the encounters turned into single combat." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) |
| "A 2007 study showed that about one in four people who appear to be depressed are in fact dealing with the aftermath of a recent emotional blow, like the end of a marriage, the loss of a job, or the collapse of a business.32 "Serious Psychological Distress" is a measure used by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. They find it highly prevalent: an average of 9 percent of Americans report having experienced psychological distress in a given year." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) |
 "To make a real long story real short and sad, I had to collapse everything down and lay everyone off [Miralin had 280 employees] and we all took a huge loss. And in my opinion, so did society."
About five years after Miralin folded, Harvey received a phone call from one of his investors in New York, who worked for a marketing company. He had been reviewing proposals from groups vying to undertake a project for one of his clients when he came across a submission that stood out."- Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
 "Imagine if we had to stop and think to process every thought and to remember how to perform every action. We'd collapse in a heap of exhaustion before we could pour our first cup of morning coffee. Which is why a morning run is so important.
THE FIRST SPARK
In 1995 I was in the process of researching my book A User's Guide to the Brain, when I came across a one-page article in the journal Nature about exercise and BDNF in mice. There was scarcely more than a column of text, yet it said everything. Namely, that exercise elevates Miracle-Gro throughout the brain."- John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) "Stroke stems from a collapse or rupture or blockage of capillaries anywhere in the brain. If the blood flow is cut off to the temporal lobe — the brain's dictionary—you can speak but you can't get the words right. If you have a stroke in the frontal cortex, you won't be able to speak, but you can understand what people are saying to you. The next most common form of dementia is Parkinson's disease, in which the dopamine neurons in the subtantia nigra get depleted and cut off the flow of the neurotransmitter to the basal ganglia, which is the brain's automatic transmission." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) |
 "In such times, there can be very real danger: if appropriate responses are not made rapidly, the old order may begin to collapse.
This is all too possible with humanity today. If we do not address the deeper spiritual issues underlying the many problems we face, it is very likely that civilization will fall apart.
On the other hand, any crisis, big or small, personal or planetary, also presents an opportunity—something the ancient Chinese seemed well aware of. Their word for crisis, wei-chi, is written as a combination of two characters, one meaning "danger," the other "opportunity."- Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "And society will head yet faster toward its own collapse. The Inner Dimension Because we are caught in the belief that our inner state is at the mercy of external events, we usually try to manage stress by managing the world. We seek to eliminate or reduce the circumstances that we think are causing our stress. And we seek to minimize the effects that these stresses have on our body and behavior by exercising, eating healthily, or giving the body the rest it needs." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "This could not happen for several billion years, until the lighter elements had formed stars, and these stars had themselves become supemovae, the massive thermonuclear furnaces created when stars collapse in on themselves. From the supernova that preceded our own sun came most of the heavier elements we now find on planet Earth—and in every cell of our bodies. Matter had evolved, but it had taken ten billion years to create the hundred or so chemical elements." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "The collapse of Time "Now! Now!" cried the Queen. "Faster! Faster!" • Lewis Carroll ^ J et us suppose that humanity survives these critical times and continues to evolve. What might the future look like then? One thing is clear. Change will occur faster and faster. Much of this change will occur at the leading edge of our current technologies. Computers will become faster, smaller, and more powerful." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) |
