>> spirituality, consciousness and quantum physics, three disciplines not traditionally linked to one another. ... unless you've read one of the other thousand books that attempt to link spiritualism, consciousness and quantum physics. This idea's been around almost as long as the A-bomb, and it's still just philosophical BS, scientifically speaking. Why can't people just accept that there are some mysteries we'll never understand? Chaos theory tells us that, without resorting to hypotheses of indeterminism. Quantum mechanics is just an algorithm for working out the probability of an ill-defined "event". You simply cannot take quantum mechanics, move to a flawed interpretation of it (and they all are), and then draw conclusions from *that* about the nature of reality. You may as well try and predict the weather next decade using Boyle's law.
