In this weeks commentary Randi said this in regards to Deepak Chopra:
And he dyes his hair, you know. He wrote “Ageless Body, Timeless Mind: The Quantum Alternative to Growing Old,†and it wouldn’t do to be seen turning grey at age 58….
My goodness Mr. Randi it is soooooo simple....
Mr. Chopra is not growing old, he has a certain probablity of growing old and a probability of not aging. Anyhow you don't really know the color of his hair unless you rinse the dye out of it, until then it is no color at all or every color all at once or something like that. Anyhow the act of you looking at his hair changes the color of it.
Hey mis-using quantum principals to talk nonsense is easier than I thought. Excuse me while I go write a book, how bout this for a title Quantum Chicken Soup for the Soul?
Seriously if ever there was proof that 'a little knowledge is a dangours thing' it is the way para science types throw around terms and mis-apply theorys from quantum mechanics!
