Quantum Jumping / New woo...

[TsarBomba]

They are actually charging $129 plus shipping for this: (http://www.quantumjumping.com/lp/subconscious?gclid=CNij2pKxm5kCFROU7QodH2oNCw)

REVEALED: The shocking yet immensely effective technique that transforms anyone—and I mean anyone—into universe-hopping utopian beings, with the ability to consistently accomplish any goal, master any skill, and manifest endless abundance, health and happiness..

They also give you this kindly word of warning:

Warning: Only for those that want to communicate with their subconscious mind

I understand. I really do. You might be tempted to be skeptical about this. You might even be thinking that it is a scam. Not so! Because . . .

Don’t miss… thousands of satisfied customers cant’ be wrong!

[Wowbagger]

From the site (bolding as in original):
...some of the finest minds on the planet are starting to discover evidence supporting my claims. Creative and scientific geniuses like Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku and Neil Turok, all of whom are responsible for unbelievable breakthroughs in the field of quantum physics.
Sounds like someone is going to be receiving a couple of Cease and Desist orders...

What On Earth Is Quantum Jumping?
Quantum Jumping is the process of “jumping” into parallel dimensions...

Burt, Thank you for introducing the quantum jumping concept. I have manifested many things, parking spaces...
~B. Johnson


Parking spaces! You mean you have to quantum jump into a parallel dimension to park? Hmph. All these years I've been going about parallel parking all wrong. (so it's: check mirror, line up vehicle, shift into reverse, quantum jump into a parallel dimension, release brake, turn right, then left...)

[aggle-rithm]

I, too, have been missing that critical "jump into a parallel dimension" step all these years. How embarrassing! I've been taking the bus to avoid the shame of being unable to parallel park, when all I needed to do was violate a couple of physical laws!

[aggle-rithm]

If a "quantum jump" is like a "quantum leap", then technically it involves only an electron shifting to a different energy level in an atom.

Not a very long trip. You may not notice you've made it.

[Starthinker]

Scott Adams of Dilbert fame talks about something similar in one of his books. He credits the technique for his success as a cartoonist.

What the feck does "Bridge the gab with your subconscious mind" mean? (It's at the bottom of that web page.)
It sounds a lot like "visualization." It most likely means that one imagines the two woowoo dimensions in one's head and make believe them to connect with oneself. Over time, such "mind role-playing" becomes more and more vivid... or so the idea. Gosh, this is start to remind me of the old D&D days.

Truth be told, the training, experience, and result is all of "imagination"... all in the head. Like a lot of other spiritual trainings or etc etc, the method involves; "closing your eyes and visualizing god's light, chakras spinning, breaths coming and going, the astral gate opening, etc etc etc." Like visualizing, talking to oneself, and having self-affirmation of whatever you "think" was attained from a higher source. I think that's what it means.

I keep seeing this ad for something called Quantum Jumping. Today, I decided to click on it out of curiosity. I figured I'd post the link for it here, since I haven't come across any discussions about it in the skeptical community yet.

http://www.quantumjumping.com/lp/subconscious-1?sr=1

In the link below, they quote a bunch of scientists, even a Nobel Prize winner, saying "The real clincher, though, lies in the discoveries of the most intelligent people in the world. Nobel prize winners, Professors, Quantum Physicists—If you can’t trust them, who else is left?" (scroll about a quarter of the way down the page

http://www.quantumjumping.com/products

I haven't read through all of it yet, but I'm already suspicious. I don't know much about science, however, so I wonder what you guys think...especially about these quotes by "the most intelligent people in the world." I'm going to be honest and admit that I don't know who any of these people are.

By the way, has anyone else noticed that almost all the sites that make miraculous claims have almost the same layout?

I doubt any self-respecting skeptic would spend more than two seconds discussing this rubbish. Yeah I know I just have.

I just wasted 5 minutes of my life scanning through that page. I will not waste any more of my time, and I will never ever get that 5 minutes back.

It's crap. But if you want to know how to surf the Multiverse for only $167.00, go for it. Now I have to go and wash my brain out with soap.

[Marshmallow]

Well, I guess it's as I suspected. I mean, if it really "gives anyone and I mean anyone the ability to consistently accomplish any goal, master any skill, and manifest endless abundance, health and happiness," why is this guy charging almost 200 bucks? Doesn't he already have endless abundance, health, and happiness? :rolleyes:

But what I'm interested in is how all of these intelligent, scientifically-minded people are endorsing this product with glowing remarks. This confuses me.

[lionking]

They don't. Saying Hawkins et al support this product doesn't make it so.

On the assumption this is a serious question (and I'm not quite convinced of that), anytime the word "quantum" is mentioned in an ad, run like hell.

[Marshmallow]

Ah, now that I take a closer look, I see that these are not testemonials, but quotes from these scientists about parallel universes, etc.

And I admit that it was only a half-serious question.

Wow - Completely unimpressed by this huckster... :jaw-dropp

I wasn't even going to bother with it, but I accidentally Quantum Jumped to Google, where I found all of his 'books' are self published (no talent required).
Not much of a revelation I suppose but I really can't be bothered digging any further though I'm sure there's plenty of dirt to be dug on him.

Just one more thing, he has come to the attention of sceptics in the past: From the Skeptic's Dictionary Newsletter (http://www.skepdic.com/news/newsletter102.html#10)

Enough...

[Wolrab]

I jump universes all the time. Unfortunately the decisions that caused these universe to break off from this one were so insignificant that there will be no noticeable changes for thousands of years. I have a suspicion that other Wolrabs from other universes are instantaneously taking my place when I jump so that no one notices. I should write a book....

[Ladewig]

Pure speculation on my part: it seems to me to be a take off on "The Secret." One of the flaws with that product is that it is hard to explain why young people manifest cancer or violence in their lives. The Secret's writers have said that people who have bad things happen are unconsciously wishing for bad things to happen. The product in the opening post seems to be a way to sell something to the Secret's followers who have not yet manifested "the wealth, creativity, decisiveness, and wisdom" described in the QJ site. The language used to sell both products is very similar.

I just made a similar comment on the thread about Penrose's book on consciousness, but it fits here (and in the synchronicity thread too).

I think it's funny that these New Agey people invoke quantum weirdness to macro world events when the very reason quantum weirdness is considered weird is that it doesn't happen in the macro world.

Throw "quantum jumping" onto the heap of all the woo-woo cons for getting rich quick and radically improving your life. In an alternate universe the "you" you want to be is already a success. With quantum jumping, you contact "you" to find out how you did it.

Like all quantum woo-woo, they had to throw Max Planck and Einstein into the mix for scientific verification:

The World’s Strangest Visualization Technique?

You can probably imagine the looks I get when I describe Quantum Jumping to people: it’s a technique for ‘jumping’ into alternate universes, meeting alternate versions of yourself, and using their wisdom and skills to live your ideal life.

But at its core, Quantum Jumping is simply an advanced visualization exercise. You’re tapping into your subconscious mind, where are infinite number of realities and possibilities are waiting to be discovered. Anything that can be, is.

http://www.quantumjumping.com/about

Unfortunately woo proponents are becoming more cunning in selling their harmful pseudoscience. This site contains textbook examples of the informal fallacy "appeal to quantum mechanics". It is simply sugarcoated to sound scientific, by mentioning notable physicists such as Albert Einstein, Max Plank, Stephen Hawking and Michio Kaku.

I find it very similar to The Secret, both in its claims and 'get-rich-quick' mentality.

The section titled "Stop throwing money at me!" under the product section, particularly disturbs me. With the first paragraph stating:

Most people would give up every cent in their bank account for the results guaranteed by Quantum Jumping. And in fact, many have tried. I’ve been offered tens of thousands of dollars for my teachings—which I reject simply because making ludicrous amounts of money isn’t my goal.

http://www.quantumjumping.com/products

I hope in the future, there are laws enforced which can minimize this marketing of pseudoscience. But for now I suppose the best option is to educate people, equipping them with critical thinking skills.

Add this to your list of pseudoscience marketing schemes!

Thanks!

[C_Felix]

And according to QM, there's a chance I could fall through the chair I'm sitting on right now.

Basically this is what we all do all the time - it's usually called 'considering the options' and 'using your imagination'. We model the outcomes of the various options available to us, as in "what would happen if I...?" and "what would I do if...?".

Most of us don't feel the need to dress it up in redundant woo.

Well 'xactly.

And anyways, how can you have advanced visualization? When one visualizes something, one visualizes it, period. You create a mental picture. e.g.

"Now I'll think about a horse, - no, I'll make it more interesting, flying through space on a horse with wings. Hey presto! I can see myself on the horse. Cool! :) I'm not doing visualizing in the advanced way, you say, Mr Woo Peddler? Oh, ok, not an advanced mental image then because I'm not using your advanced imaginationland technique that only you can teach me and is better than the 40-year self-taught version that has got me this far in life, uh huh, I see...." :boggled:

The reason this kind of woo arises is because physicists have failed to account for quantum interpretive enigmas, thus leaving this door open.

Isn't this just a new age version of day dreaming? I remember back in school, I could look out a window and be a million miles from the classroom in no time. No time at all. Sometimes it even took the ringing of a bell to bring me back to reality.

Okay, now I know I shouldn't expect logic from such a site...but on the homepage, they have this gem:
They seem to be rather stretching the definition of who "I" is. Apparently, the "me" in another universe is someone with an entirely different genetic code, and entirely different parents. Having Scottish blood in me, I could possibly be the King of Scotland in another universe...but a tea farmer in China?!? How would I even identify that person as "me"?
Because in one universe China conquered/settled what we call "Scotland" centuries ago.:)

So which is cheaper, a course in quantum jumping, or going super-clear in Scientology?

I need to know for... er, a friend.
