Quantum mechanics gives woo advocates scientific cover.  People who actually study and understand it, despise the woo merchants.

Because the quantum world is so freaking weird that your brain is not designed to be capable of understanding it, so people just go *magic* and then make stuff up, and it's so hard to explain what's really going on that people without degrees in science just go "cool, magic."

Moog's video is a classic example of quantum mysticism, which is the association of a set of metaphysical beliefs and spiritual worldviews with the science of quantum mechanics.

So bullshiat basically.

I don't know why everyone gets in such a tizzy about this. The formula is simple.

Being a physics minor in college (chem major), I have some vague understanding of quantum mechanics. Even so, good luck trying to explain to a layman that particles act like they are spinning, but don't actually spin, or how a particle can be effectively black and white at the same time. Not grey, not a checkerboard. Actually black and white at the same time.
