высказывание некоторых физиков о Дипаке Чопра.
Вполне подтверждает моё чувство, что это не более, чем шизотерика
Jay Wacker, physicist, phd+postdoc:
"Most physicists don't think much about Deepak Chopra. He's yet another in a long line of pseudo-intelllectuals who confuse the public about physics by intermingling some philosophy or religion with science, particularly quantum mechanics.
Quantum mechanics really isn't that mystical -- we've had 100+ years of studying it and we know that our classical model of the world just doesn't work. What replaces that classical model is just as well-defined and predictable as what came before. It doesn't prove religion or spirituality.
Quantum mechanics is hard, not really due to anything intrinsically, but because we don't have access to the quantum phenomena on a day-to-day basis. If people had Stern-Gerlach experiments to play with as children, we'd think quantum mechanics was perfectly normal and intuitive.
I personally just ignore people like Deepak Chopra, though with mild annoyance because I think he lowers the understanding of the world for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. No knowledge would be better than what he says. At the same time, if people want to believe things, I'm not going to stop them".
Stephen Frantz, Former Director of the Reed College Nuclear Reactor:
"I am annoyed by him and others who wave around terms like quantum mechanics and uncertainty principle and draw unrelated philosophical or spiritual conclusions from them. These people make it sound like science justifies their 'woo-woo' claims through hand waving.
Quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle are concrete scientific fields with concrete conclusions. They do tell us something about the nature of reality, but never what the pop-psychology books imply".
