Deepak Chopra Declares Dark Matter "Unknowable!"

I and others feel that posting a video without explanation of what's in it -- and/or an opinion about it -- is bad form.

Also, some of us don't like to watch videos -- we'd rather read text if possible.

How about a summary?
 
Calebprime,

Here is a summary. I hope it helps.

In one of his many keynote addresses, Chopra attributes his own idea of consciousness creating the universe to many famous physicists, in particular Freeman Dyson. The video

  • looks at Chopra's opus magnum Quantum Healing to show how dishonest he was when he published its "second edition;"

  • reveals Chopra's relation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the source of his QH, whom he strikes out in the second edition without notifying the reader;

  • introduces Freeman Dyson's mystical tendencies as evidenced by his winning the Templeton Prize in 2000;

  • puts Chopra in 1600, 1700, 1900, 1911, 1930s, and 1960s in each of which years there was a milestone open question in science which he would have declared "unknowable" - only to be discovered later - as he has currently declared dark matter and dark energy "unknowable";

  • finally shows the similarity between St. Augustine of Hippo and Chopra.

I think the video is worth watching!

And I declare Deepak Chopra a "schnook" and myself the King Of France. Doesn't make me any more right than him.

The video is unwatchable; there's nothing is as dreadful as someone monotonously narrating a slideshow for extended periods of time.

Chopra is definitely a maniac but I think I'd rather listen to is charismatic baloney over this painfully boring rambling.

Yes, yes, yes. To watch/LISTEN TO THE VIDEO I CAN (NOT ON COMPUTER) RUN IT 2/3X SPEED IF NO TEXT AVAILABLE, BUT TO WATCH 5 MINUTES OF CRAP WHEN I COULD READ 50-500 WORDS IN 30 SECONDS OR LESS is a total waste......
 
In other old news, Deepak Chopra thinks his fecal matter doesn't stink.

By default and definition Chopra cannot ever have a Magnum Opus. His best would be minimum opae.
 
Physicians don't study physics, despite the similarity of the two words.

Chopra's a doofus, the video is garbage, but the site itself is a very interesting one, seemingly dedicated to the exposure of Chopra and others of his ilk for the frauds they are.
 
I'm with you, smartcooky about the video and the site.
What a strange relation between Deepak and his guru.
I wonder what went wrong there.
 
Without knowing anything at all about the Chopra/Mahesh Yogi relations, I will make a pronouncement about it anyway (in keeping with Chop's own modus operandi ;) [that came out as a typo which I was tempted to let stand, but as usual with my puns was probably too tortured and obscure for anyone to go along with, i.e. "get": "mocus", which is reminiscent of "mucus"...:cool:]):

Chopra has been trying to pass himself off as a wise guy "complementary" scientist (as in "complementary medicine", another of his schticks), and realised that if he cut the ties to his mystical guru he could con a few more gullible westerners to buy into his ignorant quantum baloney.

Simple! :p

Sam- that would have been a hugely better OP.
Chopra is a vacuous, self-serving tit , is the widespread opinion on this forum.
I'm with Smartcooky that the site is more interesting than the video.

No, those (female ones anyway) have a use (uses!). There is no use for Chopra except for cleaning streets or public restrooms.


Unless, of course, you meant twit. Then I'd buy it!!!!!
