JNDS issue: quantum misuse in psychic literature

[Ninshub]

I got the latest issue of the Journal of Near Death Studies in my mailbox this week, or last. Might be of interest to some as it's devoted to the topic of "quantum misuse in psychic literature", a subject I know has been discussed in this forum or previous (family-)related ones, and there are some interesting contributors.

I've had several conversations with Janice Holden and I'm inclined to listen to whatever she has to say. She's a very wise and kind woman.

What did Mroczkowski and Malozemoff actually say? Kastrumps response to their paper is everywhere... but I can't find the original paper

[Ninshub]

I haven't read it yet. The abstract says they present examples and explanations of misuse. Headings include "Wavefunction and Quantization", "Observation and Quantum Collapse", "Entanglement and Quantum Nonlocality", "Microscopic or Macroscopic?", then they go into examples of "quantum misuse" in Van Lommel (2010), Chopra (1993), Dispenza (2014), Goswami (1993) and Schwartz (2017). In a two paragraph section that note exceptions to misuse, they mention Dean Radin (1997) and Ed Kelly (2007).

If you're interested in it Max, I'll try to scan it and message you about it so you can get it as soon as I get the time (maybe PM me your email), and maybe then if you feel like it you can read it and post your thoughts about it.

I'll try to do it later tonight.

That would be great

I read a few pages into the article attempting to explain quantum mechanics, which is very poor... and in places out right wrong, or fails to give a full description. One would correctly classify the authors as anti-quantum zealots... seeking to give an explanation of quantum physics which fits their classical world view... I gave up...

A case of the pot calling the kettle black... or that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones...

One can go onto YouTube, and watch a full series of Feynman’s New Zealand lectures from a Nobel prize winner for quantum electrodynamics, without any incorrect analogies, and other anti quantum bullshit that will rot your brain, and prevent you from ever correctly understanding the postulates of quantum mechanics.
