7 Ways To Ruin Your Life With Lies From Quantum Physics - Chris Ferrie - #648

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Chris Ferrie. He's a physicist and mathematician at the University of Technology Sydney and an author. The term quantum is liberally tossed around within the spiritual community, often suggesting a level of insight into this mysterious field of science. But what do these people actually mean? What have these gurus correctly interpreted about the field of quantum physics? And where are they very confused? Expect to learn why the word quantum is so frequently employed by spiritual gurus, what quantum entanglement actually means, whether energy healing heals anything at all, whether it's possible to raise your vibrational frequency, why Schrödinger's cat does not mean that you can do whatever you want with no consequences, how something can be so incorrect it's not even wrong, and much more. You might have heard me mention that I went to Florida to record a very big episode, and that is true. You may have also heard me mention that I think it's the most beautiful podcast ever recorded in history, and that's also true. It is beyond phenomenal. This thing was filmed in Cinescope Aspect, which is what they use for Marvel movies. We took an entire team of 10 out, over a hundred grand's worth of equipment. It's filmed on these absolute monster, red Komodo cinema lens camera monstrosities. It's phenomenal. And it'll be live a week on Monday.
