However, the current general consensus among physical and biological scientists that there is no need for supernatural explanations to describe reality (see naturalism).[1][2][3] Certain New Age spiritualists have accepted quantum mysticism as a possible way for them to justify their spiritual beliefs,[4][5] though quantum physicists themselves on the whole reject such attempts as being pseudoscientific.[6][7]

Regarding IP editor's entry and reversion 7-July-2011
[edit]Proposal (to mitigate an edit-war) that the paragraph reverted as WP:ORIG is more appropriate to be developed in article Quantum_mysticism. Interested editors could continue the discussion here. Mediation4u (talk) 10:33, 7 July 2011 (UTC) editing is fun
- I've tried to include a balanced range of perspectives on the subject.hgilbert (talk) 11:56, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- I think that it's probably best not to get into quantum flapdoodle on this page. The current state of the article which eschews quantum mysticism altogether is, as I see it, pretty good. Hope people liked my sources. 128.59.169.46 (talk) 15:56, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your understanding. I think the page looks more aesthetically pleasing without lots of tags on it. I think the content is well written with an engaging style and is currently sufficiently neutral and balanced. Yes, I liked these sources. Mediation4u (talk) 10:53, 8 July 2011 (UTC) editing is fun
