I think Chopra is a parasite. Not an original thinker. Unfortunately Shodinger has become synonymous with his satirical cat experiment which is so often presented as representational of his views as I see it Vitalism and the Ether are now essential principles in science but I’m probably guilty of the same mistakes as Chopra.

Only in the 21st century it became to be introduced to science when they started to study photosynthesis and originally the quantum theories in biology were regarded fringe in science until recent few years due to evidence supporting them. If not for Deepak Chopra quantum biology would go from Gurwitsch to normal science without being branded pseudoscience in late 20th centurysovietrefugeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335238105978169719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439168179960787195.post-12900805585221527662016-10-09T02:45:18.099+10:002016-10-09T02:45:18.099+10:00If you want someone to blame why quantum biology s...If you want someone to blame why quantum biology started as pseudoscience in the West don't blame scientists, blame Deepak Chopra. Alexander Gurwitsch, a Russian-Jewish-Atheist scientist laid the framework for quantum biology but it could not have bee verified at the time due to technology and was not plausible by mid 20th century. Then it was challenging life as chemistry paradigm and continued being rejected. At the same time New Age movement and occult (in Russia) began to push for quantum biology which made it appear a pseudoscience in the eyes of respected scientistssovietrefugeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335238105978169719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439168179960787195.post-22326511894576067152015-09-17T23:17:12.599+10:002015-09-17T23:17:12.599+10:00Physicists can also help to tame the hubris of som...Physicists can also help to tame the hubris of some biologists/biophysicists too : http://arxiv.org/abs/1502.07316 is a good exemple of a critical review of not well supported claims of coherence and nonclassicality in ultra weak light emission by biological samples.cbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349828290008437401noreply@blogger.com
