Actually, after reading your reply I think we are trying to say almost the exact same things.
Quote:
While they are related, they are distinct, and calling the observer effect The Uncertainty Principle is simply wrong. I totally agree. Quote:
Second, the mere fact that the observer effect on the quantum level is analogous to actions on the macro level does not make those two things equal or even related. I don't want to appear strident about it, but it is an alarm bell when quantum mechanics (usually the observer effect or the non-locality) are mentioned in the same breath as something paranormal as if it supports it. It doesn't. Note that I am not saying that you have done this; as far as I know, you have not. I would say that yes, the macro & micro realities are analogous, but no, I would not say that supports any type of theory of the paranormal. Any analogy--by definition--must have something the same and something different. I would not say they are equal, but I would say there are similarities. Mentalists talking about philosophy & physics... who would have thought
