Into the book

Quantum physics is a theory so precise that it cannot be compared to any scientific theory ever invented.
Quantum physics allows us to understand the structure of matter and even stack atoms on top of each other to create materials that do not exist anywhere else in the universe.
And thanks to quantum physics, we can understand what stars are made of, and what lies beyond our telescopes in the distant universe.
And we can build a clock that will be accurate to within a second over a period as long as the lifetime of the universe.
Lasers, medical scanners, and even the computer you used to steal this book from the Internet all came into existence thanks to quantum physics.
Quantum physics is really awesome.
If I could, I would marry quantum physics.

energy.
The world around us is full of energy.
It's in us too.
Energy is the life force of the universe and binds us to it.
We are woven into the fabric of space and time by quantum mechanics.
Wow, that's a really profound story.
No, is this just nonsense? I apologize to anyone who's been fooled by this nonsense, but I'll have to shatter that illusion.
This is just nonsense.
While scientists use the word "energy" in legitimate and useful ways, scammers use it to take your money.
Quantum energy is real.
(...) It's just not what you think.

--- p.21-22

The child's swing swings back and forth, and you lose your mind...
No...
While thinking about physics, the child's energy changes from kinetic energy to potential energy.
You may remember the spell-like law you learned in science class as a student.
'Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.' This is the essence of a great scientific concept.
Scientific concepts take something complex and make it simple.

--- p.33-34

When we look at actual products, the most common ones claim to be imbued with quantum energy.
Some products are harmless to use.
The 'quantum' crystal transmits a positive quantum vibe to you.
So far, there is no harm.
We all like a positive atmosphere.
This is similar to eating sand.
It might be a little salty, but it won't kill you.
But if you eat sand instead of rice, you're in trouble.
If you were to use 'quantum energy' products instead of traditional drugs, food, or other basic necessities, your life, like a quantum, would quickly end its continuity and enter a discontinuous state.
For example, let's take a device called the Quantum Xrroid Consciousness Interface, which is now banned for sale in the United States (it really exists).

--- p.42-43

Quantum energy has also given us more positive things.
Terms like 'quantum leap' are an example.
(...) There should be more expressions like this.
How about using the word "photosynthetic" to describe the warm feeling you get on your skin when exposed to sunlight? Don't like it? Doesn't matter.
I'm already using it.

--- p.48

In classical physics, waves and particles exist, but the two are separate things.
In quantum physics, on the other hand, everything exhibits both wave-like and particle-like behavior.

--- p.75

It's not just in popular culture that the psychological observer effect is being confused with the quantum physics observer effect; even social scientists are jumping on the quantum physics bandwagon.
Let's be clear on this point.
Quantum physics has nothing to do with human behavior or feelings.
--- p.116

Quantum philosophy is big business.
Do you remember the titles listed in the introduction to popular quantum physics books? Some of these physicists have made a fortune by spouting out empty and pretentious statements in an effort to attract the public's attention.
They will say that the uncertainty principle proves what they personally want to believe, such as consciousness, free will, etc.
At this point, even people who work in philosophy would want to cry.

--- p.118

Of course, nesting doesn't work this way.
But I use nesting every day.
I use superposition to solve engineering problems.

--- p.125

My argument is that Dirac ruined this concept by naming it 'superposition'.
This concept will now forever be known as superposition.
'Overlapping' would have been a much better choice than 'nesting'.
The reason is as follows:
In quantum physics, superposition refers to the fact that adding together solutions to quantum physics equations creates a new solution.
That is, if both A and B are solutions to some physics problem, then ½A+½B is also a solution, and ½A+½B is called a superposition.

--- p.132-133

The concept of overlap is constantly being misused.
They bring together two similar concepts that are diametrically opposed and clearly cannot occur at the same time and talk about them in this way.
'Because of quantum superposition, these two things can happen at the same time!' If you want to sound clever, you can call this a 'paradox.'
Let's look at some examples I just made up.
- I think I'm in love.
But I'm not sure about her feelings.
This is like Schrödinger's relation.
It's loving and not loving at the same time.
- I feel like I can buy everything I need, but I can't buy anything I want.
My bank account is Schrödinger's account.
I am rich and poor at the same time.
- I read the whole book, but I don't remember a single thing about it.
This is Schrödinger's book.
I read it but I didn't read it at the same time.
Isn't that amazing? I guarantee you'll be both impressed and unimpressed.

--- p.143

What physicists can say with confidence and accuracy is what reality looks like within the models and theories that deal with true reality.
We too have no way of accessing true reality with absolute certainty.

--- p.168

Science is not an object of faith.
In fact, there is a separate name for such science: ‘scientism.’
Scientism helps no one.
In fact, people who categorize themselves by what they believe are easily deceived by those who exploit those beliefs.
On the other hand, you don't have to believe in anything in particular to be a true scientist.
In fact, true science requires constantly evaluating one's beliefs in the light of new arguments and evidence.
A scientist's faith is virtually always temporary.

--- p.182

Just looking at questions like these shows how difficult it is to talk about the reality behind the observations and mathematics of quantum physics.
Niels Bohr believed that even asking this kind of question was inappropriate, and that there was no quantum world beyond what was observed in experiments.
This anti-realist view boils down to an advice, or demand, to shut up and do the math.

--- p.195

The problem with defining bullshit is that what counts as bullshit depends on the intent of the bullshitter.
But if we rely on these facts, we can obtain a concise and practical definition.
In other words, nonsense can be defined as deceptive nontruth that deceives people.
This doesn't necessarily mean it's false.
A lie is one that implies that the person telling the lie actually knows the truth.
Bullshit people don't care about that.
Quantum blatherers almost certainly don't know what's true in quantum physics.
If you don't know the truth, you can't lie.
They just think that using quantum physics jargon makes their argument sound more convincing.

--- p.249-250

You probably already know the point I'm making.
If you fight with shit, you'll end up covered in shit.
This is really pointless.
In fact, it's better to just ignore it than to worry about this and that and call it nonsense.
Speaking of razors, this one is called Hitchens's razor.
In short, this means that claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

--- p.252

Publisher's Review

Quantum mechanics is the most reliable scientific theory that has ever emerged.
How has it been misunderstood and become a playground for scammers?

In this quantum age, the world is overflowing with nonsense about quantum.
Is it because we want to use the revolutionary concepts of quantum mechanics as tools to overturn existing thinking, or perhaps because we want to generalize our claims to the worldly truths guaranteed by science? The strangeness and incomprehensible properties of the microscopic world revealed by quantum mechanics are often misapplied to the world we live in.
Furthermore, it is a reality that many people exploit the difficulty in understanding quantum mechanics concepts to sell goods or commit fraud.

For example, let's look at the following sentence from the book "Quantum Love":
“By harnessing the power of quantum fields to hone your emotions and intentions, creating the frequency or vibration of your desires, you can attract what you desire.” (p. 78) Doesn’t that sound familiar? For another example, a video about a “healer” from the Netflix show “Gwyneth Paltrow’s Wellness Lab” states, “There’s some amazing research in quantum physics that supports this.”
The research that forms the basis for this is called the double-slit experiment.
It is said that the statement was leaked that “through this experiment, it has been empirically proven without a shred of doubt that our consciousness actually changes physical reality” (p. 149).
Aren't we finding similar stories all around us? Stories like how we can cure cancer using wave energy, how we can attract the good things we desire by manipulating our consciousness based on the principles of quantum mechanics, or how we can achieve happiness through quantum resonance?

As pseudoscience dominates the internet and it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish alternative facts from real science, fortunately, Australian quantum physicist Chris Perry has come to us with this book.
Thanks to this, readers will be able to easily identify the numerous scammers and charlatans who approach them with the sole purpose of swindling them out of their money, and teach them what quantum entanglement really is and give them a good fight.
At least you can avoid getting sucked into a shady world of nonsense or losing money to scammers.
This book will be especially welcome to readers who have encountered dubious claims about quantum mechanics and thought, "Does this really make sense? Something is off," but have been left feeling uneasy because they have passed over the claims without knowing exactly what the problem is.

The world's funniest and most refreshing quantum physics class
A humorous quantum physics textbook

“After reading this book, you will understand quantum physics to a level that will allow you to protect yourself from nonsense.
However, I'm going to take a slightly different approach than most books on quantum physics.
I'm not going to tell you that quantum mechanics is so weird and mysterious that it will shatter your understanding of the world.
I won't even talk about what quantum physics is.
Let me just talk about what quantum physics is not.
Well, that's good.
“I might also talk a little bit about what quantum physics is.” (pp. 14-15)

The author looks more like a neighborhood guy who likes to chat at a local cafe or pub, wearing jeans and a t-shirt, rather than a professor who dresses up and stands in a lecture hall.
The author's bold and unpretentious approach to the topic may be a strategy to reduce the burden of a difficult topic and to reach out to the younger generation in particular.
This style may be unfamiliar to some readers, but once you get used to it, you'll find yourself waving your tongue at the author's humor.
Although not all are successful, this kind of humor, which continues without pause, is quite contagious, and as Professor Park Kwon of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology points out in his recommendation, “there is a serious side effect that readers will inadvertently make quantum jokes.”
The word 'fuck' that appears in almost every chapter title feels very refreshing.
This is arguably the funniest and most ingenious book on quantum physics ever published, explaining the entire field of quantum physics with minimal formulas, from the perspective of those who are not familiar with physics or mathematics.
That doesn't mean the content is poor.
It helps you understand the entire spectrum of quantum physics, from the concept of quantum mechanics and the history of quantum mechanics to wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, superposition, quantum entanglement, quantum interpretation, and various quantum technologies.

As we examine what quantum mechanics is not,
A book that will help you understand what quantum mechanics is.

Another clever strategy the author employs is to significantly reduce the burden of understanding difficult quantum physics by explaining what it is not, in order to identify the nonsense.
For example, something like this.
Chapter 2, which explains waves, first poses this question:
“The entity that transports energy from one place to another is a wave.
So, if we tune ourselves to the frequency of these waves, wouldn't we be able to effectively resonate our energy with the universe?" (This is the moment, according to the author, when "the waves are writhing to birth into some damned magical nonsense").
After that, it presents a basic explanation of 'wave', 'wavelength', 'frequency', and 'resonance', and shows the double-slit experiment that demonstrates wave-particle duality and the Einstein-Planck equation (one of the few equations that appear in this book).
And the equation shows that a 70-kilogram person moving at 1 meter per second would have a frequency of 5.3×10^34 Hz (53 million times billion times billion times billion times billion times hertz).
If we were to conduct a double-slit experiment with such a person, we would need as much time as the age of the universe for him to pass through the slits to exhibit an interference pattern like a wave, and we conclude as follows:

“The point here is that the effects of wave-particle duality can never be observed in objects of a size that can be seen with the naked eye.
It's not that the effect doesn't exist, but that it's so small that it's impossible to detect.
But fortunately for photons and electrons, they are small enough that we can detect them and see their quantum beauty.
In other words, you, like everything in the universe, have a quantum vibration, but because it is at a meaningless level, you don't have to worry about whether claims like things resonating with your vibration are true.” (p. 75)

Likewise, “quantum uncertainty,” which means that “position and velocity are not perfect properties of an object,” is meaningless when applied to large objects because “‘perfection’ means an accuracy better than one trillionth of one trillionth of one trillionth of an atomic size” (p. 247). Quantum superposition, entanglement, and such things all do not work in the macroscopic world we live in.
So there is no reason to worry or expect that our minds and bodies will be affected in this way.

Beyond the mysterious quantum physics

This book examines with admirable tenacity the conventional wisdom that connects the quantum world to the everyday macroscopic world, revealing what the concepts of quantum physics truly mean.
It is also interesting to point out that scientists who emphasized the “magical mystery” of the quantum world, which can only be described with complex mathematics and is “greatly removed from our everyday experience” and “invisible to the eye,” have inadvertently created public misunderstandings about quantum physics (p. 16). As a scholar whose job is to use quantum superposition and entanglement for calculations and research, the author adopts the position of an “everyday pragmatist” (p. 215) who “sees that information has been used for a useful purpose and does something appropriate for it” rather than believing in something.
While some may disagree with this position, it does help readers peel back the layers of mysticism that have shrouded quantum mechanics and provide a consensus among scientists about the overall understanding of quantum physics.
Through concrete examples, we can not only learn about the types of errors people are prone to, but also cultivate the ability to think and judge scientifically without falling into pseudoscience and sensationalist claims.
It is expected that this will bring about a kind of quantum leap in the lives of readers.

If my physics professors had even one-thousandth of Chris Perry's sense of humor, my life would be different.
I would never have given up on physics, and it would have become the most popular major in the world.
