PHOTO GALLERY: Burning Man Festival Could Change the World on a Quantum Level

Such a presence, derived from pooled emotions and convictions, could shape experiences, stir spontaneous artistry, and even mysteriously steer the course of events. Moreover, what if the intense melding of human and technological energies stirred a localized perturbation in the Earth's magnetic field? Such an anomaly might impact everything from our digital interactions to our very cognition, potentially even unlocking gateways to less understood realms or states of consciousness. Ancient druidic traditions find echoes in the festival's fabric.
