quantum quackery

If any physicists with expertise in QM have a little spare time, could they comment on this paper by Lionel Milgrom: Journeys in The Country of The Blind: Entanglement Theory and The Effects of Blinding on Trials of Homeopathy and Homeopathic Provings? There have been a couple of comments...

This is great stuff, check out the section on horses! :) Veterinary Medicine

I passed by this title in the bookstore the otherday and thought was worth sharing for a laugh: http://www.lightconnectiononline.com/Archive/may06/may06_article6.htm Quantium Success Adding the word quantum definitely makes sound more dynamic, now go shift some paradigms! I guess should...

My first major post here so please bear with me. Allthough I am a major sceptic in the true sense of the word I am always cautious to not let my scepticism result in me "missing" something. Homeopathy crops up again and again as something I need to reconsider and I want to get a few views on...

Somebody on one of my email lists made a passing remark about using "quantum chips" for healing. So i went googling and found this: Urrgghhhh... Words fail me. Are golfers really so stupid as to swallow this nonsense? I did try the Intention Energy website to see their explanation of how...

I posted this in somebody else's thread regarding this company, but thoughtI would throw it in here since my sister, the Podiatrist, with a medical degree and everything, has been (in my opinion) roped in to this. Somebody was kind enough to post links for the other person, but in reading the...

• AUG. 10 Quantum physicist Dr. Amit Goswami will talk about his book, "The Visionary Window." 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 10 at the Carmel Art Association, Dolores Street between Fifth and Sixth, Carmel. A book-signing will follow at Pilgrim's Way Bookstore across from the art association...

You'll never guess what I found when I googled 'tachyon,' over my lunch break: http://www.uisca.org/en/content/AreasofConcentration/Quantum-Cybernetics.asp Wow! I couldn't make this stuff up! BTW, I can't figure out what Tachyonized means. Is it a trademarked process, or are they actually...

Using the word "quantum" to describe anything other than the fundamental notion that a physical property may be "quantised" is bizarre to begin with. Quantised means that the magnitude can take on only certain numerical values, rather than any value, at least within a range. For example, the...

Metro, a free newspaper given away on public transport in London and elsewhere, has a new astrologer, Wendy Bristow. They’ve published an interview with her in today's paper, and guess what: Would any physicists like to comment, once they’ve cleaned the tea or coffee off their screen and...

http://www.metro.co.uk/metro/interviews/interview.html?in_page_id=8&in_interview_id=1244 I would write to point out how much crap this but it would seem pointless given it's the paper's astrologist.

A company named Atom Chip Corporation has announced what appears to be a quantum leap forward in computer technology. A "quantum-optical" microprocessor and non-volatile RAM. The processor is rated at 6.88Ghz, and the RAM comes in denominations measured in Terabytes (1 and 2 Tb packages are...

What can I say to all the people who fall back on the quantum physics thing to support their New Age conclusions? I know they don't understand it enough to know what they're talking about, but I don't understand it enough to counter them. Help?

Who better to learn quantum physics from than a 35,000 year old entity, right? There's a psuedo documentary film out called What the #$*! Do We Know? which supposedly explains string theory and other mysteries of the universe, starring academy award winning actress Marlee Matlin no less. (I've...

Just another round-up of nutjobs, charlatans, gullible idiots, self-proclaimed geniuses, etc. If this sort of thing depresses you, don't read it. Quantum Consciousness And Your Imortality : "QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS AND YOUR IMMORTALITY is a scientific analysis of our physical reality and of the...

http://www.belt.demon.co.uk/product/quantum/quantum.html Ok, I am not very scientifically proficeint, but this seems pretty "Woo Woo" to me...am I missing something, or just ignorant as I've long suspected?

Several days ago, Rolfe was kind enough to provide me with links to several papers which purport to explain how high-dilution homeopathic remedies work in terms of quantum mechanics. Although I've been busy this week, tonight I finally got to the first of the bunch: Weak Quantum Theory...

I'm having a little bit of a war with a kid at "Sanctuary of Development" (I have way too much free time) about chi and psionics. He'd got the usual just enough information to be really, really stupid. He's trying to use the old QM justifies psi cop out. but he's never heard of the change at...

Some of you are aware of my philosophy which concludes that we're all existing within the Mind of God. I thought I'd explain why this philosophy is consistent with QM... The fundamental energy of perceived existence is known to be essentially indeterminate... yet progresses towards a...

Here's a theory of consciousness from the perspective of electron tunnelling across synapses (?) from Evan Harris Walker http://users.erols.com/wcri/CONSCIOUSNESS.html There's a bit of blurb about him here: http://www.parapsych.org/members/e_h_walker.html What do poeple who are...

I did not think this fit in the science forum so it is here http://www.acns.com/~mm9n/quan/qtheoA.htm The observable and the unobservable Some of this is a bit beyond my scope to comment on, but is this just an attempt to force a co-existance of Science and Faith? Quantum Theology...
