Quantum jumping IS pseudo-scientific nonsense designed to make money. It is based on the notion that the conscious mind is something seperable from the body. It also manipulates the truth by taking theories and connecting them in the wrong ways. Now I shall point out a few of the holes in “Quantum Jumping.”
1) When the website brings up the fact that particles have no single location, it explains this as a result of the fact that there are parallel universes that overlap. The real cause is the Heisenburg uncertianty principle. This principle states that certian pairs of physical properties cannot both be known to a same high degree of precision. If one is known very well, the other cannot be known as well. One of the most important pairs is that of position and momentum. If you know a particle’s mass and how fast it is going, you cannot know exactly where it is. It is important to remember that we are talking about subatomic particle, not large object. The variation of where it could be is large for a particle, but nonexistant compared to large objects. This was explained without any parallel universes involved.
2) Our thoughts cannot alter the vibration of particles. He takes the vibration of subatomic particles (from string theory) and relates it to the vibration of molecules in matter. Notice how he calls both things the “vibration of particles”, not specifying what is vibrating. He then talks about how heat energy is the cause of the vibration in water. He then tries to make the heat energy of water seem like the same thing as the relativistic energy (energy inplied through E=MC^2) of the human brain. He calls both just “energy,” not specifying the large difference. Mass and energy are only the same on the subatomic scale, and my brain is not the size of an electron. On our scale, they are completely different things. He then tries to say that the energy of our brain can affect the vibration of subatomic particles. The vibration of these particles is not the same type of vibration, and cannot be affected by heat and other energy.
3) It is not possible, to the best of human knowledge, to access parallel universes, and I couldn’t access my alternate me. Also, the neurons in your brain can’t do this either. It is important to remember that there is no practical definition for the me that I would be accessing. My body is just a collection of particles, no different than the particles in my chair. In fact, they are exactly the same as the particles in my chair. Every electron, proton, etc. has the exact same mass, charge, and all other properties. How would “my” electrons know how to access the electrons that would make up my alternate body. The alternate of that electron could be somewhere completely different, like on Mars, or completely non-existant. My alternate me would still not be me. He would have lived a completely different life, could look different, and would have particles indestinguishable from the next guy. You cannot take my alternate me and prove that it is my alternate me, no matter how hard you try.
I could go on and on, but I have wasted enough time on pseudoscience. I will end by saying that Burt Goldman either doesn’t know what he is talking about, or is trying to convince people that this service is something more than a psychological trick. I vote number two. Don’t trust new scientific theories when the person who came up with it is using it to make a business. You know that if this is the case, making money is their prime objective.
