Well, it does make good fiction because they extrapolate these things in extreme, fictional ways.
Why? Because it helps push the secularity of the scientific realm, and if you're not already aware the premise of modern science was an antagonism to be able to explain all without appeal to the spiritual.
At a certain point the argument of a "quantum AND macro world" that are distinct and separate fails because the macro world is literally built up by the quantum.
This is why the large scale experiments with random number generators being influenced by intent have consistently and repeatedly shown a "weak, but statistically significant effect" (EVEN in the one where they printed the result without observer BEFORE the experiment, in attempt to merge in the Schrodinger's cat factor into the experiment)
My realization moment really came when considering the implications that energy cannot be created or destroyed. I thought about how the only difference between a living body and a dead body comes down to the energy that animates it. I figured that energy IS or is connected to the soul, but since that energy can't be destroyed, that requires reincarnation of that energy.
If the universe is entropic, I wondered if life, through evolution, was an opposite force of extropy (stuff growing increasingly complex / higher energy).
That is more on the woo woo side, but I agree in the sense that it seems plausible.
In that sense, life would be an extension of god experiencing it's own creation for the purpose of that life evolving to become part of god.... implying the universe as a fractal.
It is always nice to see when reddit loses one of their best, but that was not an argument.
Sorry, when you remove all the woo woo stuff and the scammers and the fiction you are left with a real thing that has a small (5-10% greater than chance) but statistically significant (works 19 times out of 20) effect in the macro world.
Strangely closed minded in a thread concerning Tesla.

Differently put, at least in my view:
The deeper into the quantum realm one goes, the merge of the scientific andere spiritual happens.
Although, currently, the way of knowing it differs.
Science is cognizant and dividing this and that, in the mind. The other is spiritual, in the not- mind, or mindless-state, but observes the whole.
I do believe that to be at least generally true.

Wow! What wonderful deep thoughts are expressed in this whole thread.
I am grateful, for all contributions to this discussion! And what relief to find you expressing these!
Ever so often I am reading one of the responses, I hear Carl Sagan: We are a way for the Universe to know itself.
I would add: to know itself in a different way, through sentient experience. What a creative act!

Sure thing there Buck Rogers!
