I wasn't sure if it was a type or not ^_^;

 

Well, no, in science, theories aren't just theories ;) They've been tested over and over again, and are accepted as the closest thing we have to reality until something better comes along ;) I'm not sure if scientific theories are what you were referring to here, so please take no offense. It's just a line I tend to see a lot... often in the context of "evolution is only a theory".

 

I don't think quantum physics can be said to be related to magic at this juncture. What works on a quantum level does not work on a macro level, for example. Hence the issues with General Relativity vs. Quantum physics. The theories conflict when it comes to particular situations, like what happens in the middle of a black hole. I think it's very premature to scale things up from the quantum and suggest that it relates to magic, visualisation and so forth - particularly given reactions from physicists to the bastardisation of physics in "what the bleep do we know", etc. While there may indeed be some sort of connection between quantum physics and magic, I would not make any prediction there... If nothing else, it really makes the magic-using community look unversed in science to jump the gun in such a way, which is something I would like to avoid.

 

Frater: Have you seen that delayed observation eraser experiment? That one weirded the crap outta me. It might mean that violation of causality is possible experimentally and that would mean that half the equations quantum mechanics depends on are wrong. I mean talk about mind-blowing stuff.

And this is exactly why I felt comfortable posting this on this site. I was hoping there were folks that could better explain this and help me see what is and what is not! And Sang, no worries ever about offending me, this is WHY I posted,..to learn, and with your help, I might now have a better understanding of the true nature of the topic! This is a tough subject, at least to me. I always try to learn about these types of things, yet not really knowing what it is Im seeing and drawing a conclusion on what a few supposed authorities are saying, I need others input to know what is real, or not. I might not agree, but it will spur me forth to look deeper and not just jump to a convenient conclusion, something I do very well!!! (can you say...fluffy!!) Lol,..so ..thanks alot for taking the time to post,..it really does mean alot to me,..I love intellegent, and thought provoking discussions. BB Lea

I don't study it myself, but I am getting handfasted to a physicist so it's always been something amusing to me to hear the real story from him and other physicists, and the story from new-agers.
One thing they always say is "if you think you understand quantum physics, you don't understand quantum physics."
