Down the rabbit hole

I just saw the movie What the Bleep Do We Know!? and I think it is worth it. It gets better as it goes along and says some interesting things.

Btw... there is still one mystery for me.

One scientists says there is an experiment where they photograph the same thing in two locations at the same time. But yet the thing about quantum mechanics is that you don't know where something is until you observe it. But then, isn't the thing being photographed being observed and therefore should be in one location? Or if it is in two locations, then what does that have to do with the observer? What am I missing here?

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle applies only to atomic scale objects, namely the location of electrons in orbit around its nucleus.

I saw this movie when it came out, and have mixed feelings about it. Parts were interesting, but overall it was hard to take seriously (especially when it features a woman who claims to be the reincarnation of a 30000 year old warrier woman from another planet).
