&gt; I get really suspicious when I see quantum physics used in this way. It seems like a misdirection.<p>Because it is. It is the usual physics-inspired pseudophilosophical blabla without any real grounding in philosophy, physics or intelligent thought. It caters to the &quot;intellectual&quot; esoteric wishing for a meta-universe, for some kind of god, for something apart from reality. It is rubbish, and on the same level as the ted-talk of the lunatic claiming to have found the perpetuum mobile and faster than light travel thanks to some circle-based mathematics given to him by his enlightened professor.<p>At the same time funny, sad and highly annoying if it comes up on places like here.
