Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

Can Thoughts Affect Quantum Reality?
The brain is mysterious as is quantum mechanics. Thus, the temptation to accept claims by some "experts" that just thinking about influencing quantum reality can affect it. If you want the answer, click on the link below for an enlightening 18-min video on the subject:

What Is Reality At Its Base?
"But how can mass equal frequency because these are two completely different things. Mass is associated with particles. Frequency is associated with a wave."

Quantum Physics 101
If you think you understand quantum physics, you are in error. While it is confirmed by experimentation, replication, and peer review as much as any finding in science, it is SO weird that it defies common sense. Click on the link below for a fascinating discussion on the topic:

Another Example Of The Difficulty Of Explaining Consciousness
Sabine Hossenfelder is a physicist who addresses the controversial topics within physics not only with knowledge but with discernment regarding the line between evidence and hypothesis. This video is a good example of her qualifications:

Why Magical Thinkers Need More Humility
Compare this thinking to religious/magical thinking that is "certain" about reality based on thousands of years of superstitious/pre-science influence. It is more than past time to stop the "God of the Gaps"-type arguments when hitting a barrier to our objective knowledge and admit that, at that point, "We just don't know."

Quantum Physics IS Weird, But Real

Taking The Woo Out of Quantum Mechanics
- "The fundamental underpinnings of nature are probabilistic, or nondeterministic. - - - we have to be careful not to extrapolate what happens at the quantum level, to the deterministic world of our everyday experience. Just because free will implies that your decisions are not deterministic, and quantum mechanics also implies that the properties of small particles are not deterministic, the two are not related. There is no science linking free will with quantum uncertainty."

Spirtuality Of The Gaps
As Sean Carroll, and other physicists, have stated, there is no room in our classical reality for the supernatural of any sort. Statements to the contrary are '"spirituality' of the Gaps."
