Reply #66: "What the bleep..." is entertaining, but not related to this discovery [View All]

This is an example of real science at work. While discovered by accident (as many things are), it is consistent with theory and reproducible. There is no mysticism here.

"What the Bleep do we know?" packages a lot of beliefs that are entertaining, but not scientific. To cite one example: Emoto's work with water crystals being affected by words written on paper, thoughts, emotions or prayers has never been peer reviewed, is not based on accepted scientific theory, nor has it been reproduced to my knowledge. They sure are pretty pictures, though.

I don't think the people associated with that movie use phrases like "quantum physics" with the same understanding as the guy in this article. I find discoveries like this quantum dot light source to be extremely enlightening. _{(no pun intended)} I wish more people would find science to be a "turn-on." _{(okay, that one was intentional)} It worries me when people invoke supernatural forces to "explain" something they don't understand (or that no-one understands... yet).
