But this seems like it could be a potential starting point for some serious, research. The nobel scientist that reviewed the book thought of it as something very worthwhile for scientists to read and think about. If that happens, they will start the "what if" thinking that can lead to experiments. When they start experiments that can be duplicated and peer reviewed, that's when it will start finding a consensus, or not.
I suspect the problem scientists have with non-scientists have with trying to use quantum physics/mechanics is that we have no idea what we are talking about so inadvertently abuse the science.
It reminds me of a writer colleague who started telling me everything that was supposedly wrong about my arabian gelding, who was a New England and Regional grand champion on the line when he was a baby. She had read a book about arabians, so she thought she "knew" the breed. In fact, her knowledge was about 1/8" deep, and not very broad either. She knew *nothing* about the modern strains of the breed, nor the original strains and types. She knew nothing about the history or genetic origin. She also knew nothing in depth about horses.
But she could quote the marketing-type coffee table books that give a superficial description of the idealized egyptian royalty strain bred to be "living art" and so she thought she "knew" all about arabians.
Since she had absolutely no idea what she was talking about, she abused and insulted my experience and knowledge with criticism and condescension based in ignorance.
