My mother believes in quantum healing so how do I use science

>>9018697
If she believes that garbage then she wont consider science to be more valid at explaining things. She's hopeless, just get a new one.

Did you ask her why she believes that shit?

>>9018697
What is it that make it pseudo-science?

According to quantum mechanics, there is a non-zero probability that you at this very moment could tunnel out into space and find yourself on the surface of Mars. So why not healing?

>>9018697
Tell her that deepak chopra himself has admitted the "quantum" has nothing to do with quantum physics. Tell her he said it means "biology", and as a result it should be obvious he has no idea what he's talking about and is just using buzzwords.
It won't convince her btw, because people aren't convinced by argumentative people telling them they're being stupid. They're convinced by sympathetic views, and a levelheaded rejection of what they're asserting in favour of more evidence-based arguments. Push her gently.

You need to leave.

Women in general tend to be very spiritual, even if you convince her that it's bullshit she will simply start believing in something else. Let her be, that's my advise.

>>9018697
Haven't read the book. I assume it says something like, there is a quantum field which regulates or otherwise affects biological activity.

Well tough shit skeptics, it looks like there is.

>quantum physics occur at molecular level
No shit.

>>9019221
Think. Just once. Try really hard to think about what this means.

>>9019227
That you're gullible and naive?

>>9018697
What does it say

>>9018697
Tell her that it can't work because the NSA is observing her all the time.

weirdly, if she believes it will work, it might actually be doing some good.

>>9018710
Actually, interactions with surrounding matter and radiation mean that the positional probability distributions for the particles comprising you are pretty well-localised in terms of human scales.

For there to be a functionally non-zero chance of you suddenly appearing in Mars orbit, you'd have to be cooled to near enough absolute zero.

>>9019239
That you're a fuckwit who likes to display their ignorance in public.

Unequivocal proof of quantum effects *on living systems* you stupid fat retard.

>>9019911
I, nor anyone else here challenges the notion that the laws of quantum mechanics can be observed on a molecular level, or that life is evolutionarily optimized to fit the quantum rules of nature in that regard. So we are on the same line. What are you going to extrapolate from this remarkable observation?

Putting the word "quantum" before something doesn't make it scientific

i think she means that healing is quantized. i.e we all have defined HP values

>>9018697
Facts don't work as well as you think... Her "facts" are not winning you over.

>>9019203
I don't think so. The guy uses "quantum" as a synonym for "biological" when he talks about it in interviews.

>mom believes in chiropractors

>>9018710
For the same reason that no one has tunneled into space?
