I am tired of hearing quantum mechanics invoked in support of nonsense.

You know the kind of thing.

Quantum mechanics therefore crystal healing.

Quantum mechanics therefore psychic powers.

Quantum mechanics therefore homeopathic medicine.

Quantum mechanics therefore universal consciousness.

Quantum mechanics therefore manifestation.

Quantum mechanics therefore reincarnation.

Quantum mechanics therefore free will.

It’s not just the crazies who do this. I hear otherwise highly intelligent, highly rational thinkers do it all the time.

Please stop with the “quantum mechanics therefore nonsense“.

Here are 7 reasons to stop using quantum mechanics to science-wash your delusions.
