pls don't post in this thread. why don't you start a new thread on this "hypnotherapy doesn't even exit" in the Believers Versus Skeptics forum. Then start a conversation with me and point me to your new thread. (read all the 227 threads for more background on moderation)I have just listened to the latest podcast with Mary Rodwell. She uses hypnotherapy (which does not even exist!) and then states that somehow quantum mechanics and parallel universes foretell of her ludicrous hypotheses. From this tiny bit of information Alex should have withdrawn the interview. He appears to be siding more and more with pseudo-scientists and non-scientists who use pseudo-science to try and give some credence to their 'make-believe' stories.
You can instantly tell that they are making crap up as soon as they mention 'quantum mechanics(QM)', why? Simply put, those who have studied QM, myself included, know how complex and difficult it is to describe just in terms of the mathematical models. Look at those guys and gals at C.E.R.N.(Organisation
européenne pour la recherche nucléaire). Why haven't they come up with this hypothesis? Possibly because it is unfounded rubbish. If parallel universes were responsible for alien abductions and the like, then they would be even less likely to be explanatory. Why? Because the nearest one would be more than 14 billion light years away. Even using the higher dimensional orders of a parallel universe. To have the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th spatial dimensions, they would also need the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dimensions, which we can observe. Current hypotheses on higher dimensions puts these other dimensions in a space smaller than is currently measurable, even with the best colliders we have (which are a type of microscope for really small things, such as particles.). Why does Alex give these crazy people the oxygen of free publicity. The woman is definitely not a scientist and should be viewed with suspicion on everything she believes in.
