Quantum theory is based on 2 observations on the level of elementary particles :
UNCERTAINTY : in some cases only statistical estimation of results are possible.
NON-LOCALITY: some particles continue to be synchronized, even if separated
These two observations were discussed by Einstein in the following way : Regarding the UNCERTAINTY he said “God does not play dice” and the fact that we can only give statistical calculations simply is the result or our incomplete knowledge of the processes involved, given our current knowledge.
NON-LOCALITY he called “Spooky interaction at a distance” and believed that once we know more we would be able to see that there are mediating force that we simply do not understand yet.
New Age has dumped all these thoughts of moderation and come up with the hypothesis that effects that cannot be calculated other than as probabilities, because of the “Observer-effect” – what he decides to see – will happen, if he decides the “Cat should be alive” it will be alive.
