It's currently open to debate whether there are particles in actuality, and whether - if they exist - their movements are fundamentally unpredictable. Physics is also completely compatible with Idealism, if not actually suggesting it via experimental evidence.
All to say it's very odd for anyone to appeal to physics as reason physical mediumship cannot happen. Especially if mediums do seem to experience changes in their physical brains when channeling the dead [which means mental mediumship impinges on the "physical" as well]. I think this has been shown but I cannot quite recall if anyone besides Dr. Oz did this testing...
