Quantum mechanics

Quantum Mechanics Could Be Wrong

Quantum Mechanics is not well understood, even by those who fully understand it. If it was truly understood, the observer effect would be irrelevant and we would know exactly where that electron is going at all times and whether a future visit to the Pet Cemetery will be needed.

It is entirely possible that, as Einstein once said, "god does not throw dice." To anyone that lacks an understanding of Newtonian physics, the best they can say is that the dice lands on each number 1/6 of the time. Quantum probabilities mean that we don't know the underlying physical laws that determine subatomic behavior, not necessarily that their existence is an impossibility.

Or it Could Be Right

It is also possible that this is completely wrong, for some not yet known reason. But that is also irrelevant to any point being made by metaculture. The only point that matters is that the universe conforms to immutable physical laws that determine everything that happens, and we have to deal with existing for about a century within that system as best we can.

Or it Could Be a Grift

"Science and spirituality" spaces are also full of quantum woo that divert people from the path of rationality and into the land of magical thinking using pseudoscience that sounds like something the cast of Star Trek might say, but is ultimately an ad for homeopathic supplements.

As such, metaculture will not lean on the crutch of quantum mechanics to explain concepts like free will, the multiverse, Simulation Theory and other improbabilities of modern science that people love to write about but have little bearing on any important life choices.
