If you’ve heard of the law of attraction, you’ve likely encountered mentions of quantum physics as well. At first glance, these two themes seem like worlds separate from each other. But if so, why do people mention quantum physics and the law of attraction together, as if there is a deep link between them? Let’s take a look at why these two seemingly diverse topics get simultaneous attention and mention.
What exactly is quantum physics?
Quantum physics is the branch of physics that deals specifically with Quanta. The quanta are nothing more than tiny or indivisible parts of energy. Quantum physics is based on certain crucial fundamental facts. First of all, it makes one point very clear: the world of quanta is totally different from the world we live in. He then states that elementary quanta particles can exist in both wave and particle form.
There are many other complex issues being discussed on this topic, but what matters to people like us who are investigating the relationship between quantum physics and the law of attraction are the strange results of some of the experiments performed. The double slit experiment, the Copenhagen interpretation, and the Schrodinger’s cat experiment are prime examples.
Double slit experiment
The double slit experiment revealed that energy particles could exist in both wave and particle form and the mere act of observation by an observer could cause the particles to behave differently than they previously behaved (without observation) .
Interpretation of Copenhagen and Schrodinger’s cat
The Copenhagen interpretation also states that particles can take the form of a wave or a particle depending on the observation. In simple words, it means that events can change according to the act of observation. Schrodinger was a physicist who proposed Schrodinger’s cat thought experiment to better explain this. According to this thought experiment, a cat (presumed) that is locked in a box with a radioactive counter and hydrocyanic acid could be dead and alive at the same time, both states being real.
The final result of the experiment will depend on the observation made at the time of opening the box to control the cat. According to the Copenhagen interpretation, the act of observation is the decisive factor that determines the reality of the result.
Application of quantum physics to the law of attraction
Our thought processes are a form of energy and the tiniest part of this energy is called quanta. We already know that quantum physics states that these quanta can exist as waves or particles. We also know that the decision of the quanta to appear as waves or particles is dependent / can be changed according to the observer’s act of observation.
On a deeper understanding, what we can infer is that our thought processes can project / create a reality, and that reality is totally dependent on the act of observation on our part. Or in simpler terms, we see what we believe / want to see. We create our own reality in accordance with the energy released by our thought processes.
