The saying is nonsense because it confuses conciousness, which takes place in your head, with some mystical beliefs about creation. You want to disentangle the two and read some physics from people other than those with a vested interest. Here's a good book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Quantum-Universe-Everything-happen/dp/1846144329/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336556965&sr=1-1 Not only does it explain the weird, but non-woo woo, nature of quantum physics it teaches you how to do the equations yourself. Brian Cox works at CERN BTW. The best history of physics I've read is this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Trouble-Physics-String-Science/dp/0141018356/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336557165&sr=1-1 Where string theory went wrong and why we believe what we do about reality, all from a working physicist with not a bit of quantum mysticism in sight.
