Rejections by Physicists and Mystics

Several of the founders of quantum physics were interested in the link between quantum mechanics and mysticism ……. They felt that quantum mechanics required a subtle reexamining of the role of conscious experience in the physical world.

Unlike them, the British physicist Sir Arthur Eddington rejected the notion that mysticism and physics had anything more than a metaphorical relationship…………. "We should suspect an intention to reduce God to a system of differential equations………..


……………..physicist Heinz Pagels explicitly rejected any link between the supernatural phenomenon often associated with mysticism and quantum mechanics, writing:
"Some recent advocates of Bell's work when confronted with Bell's inequality have gone on to claim that telepathy is verified or the mystical notion that all parts of the universe are instantaneously interconnected is vindicated. Others assert that this implies communication faster than the speed of light………… Individuals who make such claims have substituted a wish-fulfilling fantasy for understanding…………………
Likewise some mystics doubt that quantum physics and mysticism describe the same realm.

Tom Huston, in a review on the quantum mystical film What the Bleep Do We Know!? ………wrote:

"Quantum physics deals with the abstract, symbolic analysis of the physical world—space, time, matter, and energy—even down to the subtlest level, the quantum vacuum. Mysticism deals with the direct apprehension of the transcendent Source of all those things…………………... It's apparently only a very loose interpretation of physics, and a looser interpretation of mysticism, that allows for their surprising convergence—and opens the door to the even wilder idea that by drinking some of this quantum mystical brew, you'll be able to create your own reality.
