Please read some of the other threads in the science section to see what constitutes a properly entertaining science woo. You've really got a ways to go.

Why am I suddenly picturing Bender dressed in a 70's era disco outfit?
Maybe it is, sometimes, but who really knows?

It came from somewhere much lower than thin air.

You will have to do much better to be as entertaining as our other trolls.1/10 .Must try harder

I propose we come up with a term for the casual use of quantum physics terms in order to bolster claims of the paranormal. We could call it "quantum magic". We give it over to the woos, let them come up with whatever whacko interpretations they want to, and keep actual quantum physics discussions within the circle of people who actually understand it. Or at least want to understand it.
"Quantum magic" is just like quantum physics except the terminology is fuzzier and it makes no useful predictions and explains nothing.

I propose "wuantum theory".
I don't know, but I actually work at one of those (a synchrotron that is, not a 70s disco) and I've never seen him here.
That's actually a bit of a mistranslation though. The English term is "synchrotron light source", presumably "light-emitting synchrotron" is the literal translation of the Chinese.

It is the favorite word of woos of all types these days. I see you are from Austin as well, no doubt you have also noticed all the people infected with quantumosis.

I recently found a wooist friend reading a book called "Healing Through Quantum Biology." When I pointed out that biology takes place at the molecular level and quantum effects were confined to the sub-atomic level I may as well have been speaking Chinese to her.I think that people should be forced to take a physics test before they are allowed to buy such books.The book was very funny.

See, this clearly shows that you don't really understand either quantum mechanics or healing.
After all, there's, like, vibrations with, you know, resonance and stuff, and some of the vibrations even have frequencies. And there are these energy flows, which make auras, although the vibrations do that, too, sort of. And the auras kind of control energy flows. And crystals can make the energy flows change color and, uh, do other stuff, only better. And there are natural essences, and oneness with the universe. And quantum stuff, too.
Oh! and magnets.
I hope this clears it up for you
.Yeah, but how the **** do they work?

And for a mere $65... you, yes, you, can harness all these flowitizations and essencestuffies...
and imagine the joy of being free from cellphone radiation!

Ah, that's an insightful question. We now know that the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids with ratios, and those ratios harmonized the vortexes of the first lodestones, or something, which channels the lodestone crystals, kind of. And also the Mayans.
(okay, that's probably enough diversion for me for one morning)

Knowing stuff takes all the fun out of quantum mechanics. Shame on you!
What I'm amused by (in an admittedly geeky way) is how woo types instead of making quantum mechanics too weird, the don't make it weird enough. Reading the "Elegant Universe" is way more out there than anything brought to you by the practitioners of pseudoscience.
I'm always amazed at the ability of people to ignore the amazing while in search of the absurd.
In one day the Universe will be a crowded place!
In my view the Big Bang is cyclic and the size of the Universe can not go under 4*10^(-43) cubic meters.
V = M*20*v/m = 4*10^(-43) cubic meters
V – Smallest volume of the Universe
M - Mass of the Universe
m – Planck mass
v – Planck volume
