This article has been mentioned by a media organization: Stephen Harrison (20 October 2022). "How Quantum Theories Took Over TikTok". Slate (magazine). Its article on "Quantum mysticism" explains that nonbelievers with expert knowledge consider it a "pseudoscience" and also references some pejorative terms such as "quantum quackery" and "quantum woo." That's because respectable scientific journals—the kind of sources that are required for Misplaced Pages's science articles—have not embraced these fringe interpretations.

Weird phrasing and sources

A lot of this page feels like it poorly conforms to Misplaced Pages's general style and flow: clunky language, quotes strangely embedded in lines (generally a failure to paraphrase sources), etc. I'm thinking I may redo much of this page. Kedra Bhaonne (talk) 02:18, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Totally agree, this is a poor article. I'm not a physicist but have an interest in the subject, and agree that while it does tend to attract fringe ideas it is still a legitimate subject area and one with philosophical interest. Jeeprs (talk) 21:36, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Agreed with what the two above me have said, I have seen this article a few times, and each time it seems to have gotten worse. This is a legitimate topic of philosophical debate over what effect quantum mechanics has over the mind. It seems to be too one sided, and does not acknowledge that there are people with legitimate arguments on both sides. There are people like Henry Stapp and Fred Alan Wolf whose opinions on the topic are largely glossed over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.189.26.22 (talk) 07:50, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

I agree with you but I also think that it’s better to have an article referring to the actual philosophical and metaphysical questions regarding quantum mechanics article referring to the ways in which the language of quantum mechanics is used in an improper way. Nonetheless this article does need cleaning up; I’ll start with the grammar. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 17:20, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
