What do you think ?

[pacha]

Hi people i only joined a little while ago so thought i would start a post. Nice to meet you all.

Just wondered if anyone knew who made this statement,

"I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as fraud"

And whats your opinion.???

[wooo_oops]

Hi Pacha, welcome.

Carl Jung said it.

I don't really have an opinion on that statement... I just think things which can't be explained need more investigation and research.

Im an open minded skeptic but it makes me wonder whats going on in this world.
I read an article about the the zero point field which says that we are connected to everything and after seeing that statement it kinda got me thinking and i wanted to get another view from you guy`s.

Hello. Do you have a link to the article? I confess I do not know what the "zero point field" is. Other people here will be better informed.

Ah, right - just did a search. It's that "quantum" word again.........

Bollocks???????

Total pain in the aura.

A lot of "vibratory" stuff - ?????

But then I came across this...

so I might have made a dreadful misjudgement. I apologise if I have.

Quantum means it doesn't affect anything larger than sub molecular masses (hugely simplistic).

"Tapping into the Zero point field for health and maximizing our human potential" - Woo!

You're first impressions were good BW

Oh, "non-existent spirit energy", am I at last beginning to get a little bit right????

If they use the "Quantum" word an there's no maths it's a fairly good bet they're speaking bollocks

There is a famous quote about anyone who thinks they understand quantum physics, not actually understanding it. ?

Well, all I can say is, I don't understand telephones.

Time to trot out Jamie Whyte:

It is a rare foray into gobbledygook that does not begin with a tribute to quantum physics.

BTW, what are these telephones of which you speak?

Oh dear. Well, apparently, they are like electricalish message-pigeons, but, sorry mate, I just don't think you would understand. Know what I mean.......?

Ahh, the electric pixies. Tush, man! Why didn't you say so?

Simple. You just would not have understood. Innit.

Ah is so cool.

My opinion is that it's not a very smart statement.

In fact, it looks like a strawman argument used to misrepresent the position of anyone who disagrees with the proponent's position.
