It's Mayan and it's quantum, must be good

[Loki]

Making the news today, uber genius links science and religion through "discovery" of "unifying force".

I'm convinced.

Dr. Calleman’s paradigm busting evidence presented in his book “The Purposeful Universe” http://www.calleman.com/ demonstrates through valid scientific enquiry the Cosmic or Divine Tree of Life is reflected in every cell of the higher mammals and is connected to consciousness. Calleman observes, “Consciousness is a necessary part of every interpretation of quantum theory. The reason for this is that quantum theory really is an aspect of the Tree of Life theory and that the Tree of Life exists in quantum states, which…correspond to states of consciousness.”

From here

Surprisingly the website linked doesn't seem to say anything about the book itself. Could be wrong as it as very dissorganised and unintuitively designed. There's a surprise.

Have we had this one here before? They all look the same after a while.

[Logic please]

...
Calleman studied toxicology at the University of Stockholm in Sweden. [3] He has had no professional training in archaeology or the study of the ancient Maya.
He first encountered the Mayan calendar on a visit to Mexico and Guatemala in 1979. He became fascinated with the concept of a calendar that had an "end date" and was influenced by the works of Michael D. Coe. [3]
In 1986 he took a post at the Department of Environmental Health at the University of Washington in Seattle as a cancer researcher. As a result of work done in that post and in China he was appointed as an expert for the World Health Organization on cancer.[3]
In 1993 he returned to Sweden and devoted himself full time to researching and writing about the calendar. He published a short book in Swedish on the subject in 1994, Mayahypotesen. In 1998 he was invited to be one of the main speakers at a conference about the Mayan calendar in Merida, Yucatán. This inspired him to write a more widely accessible book, The Mayan Calendar published in 2001. A second popular book The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness followed in 2004, and a third Purposeful Universe: How Quantum Theory and Mayan Cosmology Explain the Origin and Evolution of Life in 2009.

Clicking on the Mayanism link in Calleman's wiki gives such gems as:

Contemporary Mayanism places less emphasis on contacts between the ancient Maya and lost lands than in the work of early writers such as Godfrey Higgins, Charles Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg and Augustus Le Plongeon, alluding instead to possible contacts with extraterrestrial life. However, it continues to include references to Atlantis.[3] Notions about extraterrestrial influence on the Maya can be traced to the book Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken, whose ancient astronaut theories were in turn influenced by the work of Peter Kolosimo and especially the team of Jacques Bergier and Louis Pauwels, authors of Le Matin des Magiciens. These latter writers were inspired by the fantasy literature of H. P. Lovecraft[4] and publications by Charles Fort. However, there remain elements of fascination with lost continents and lost civilizations...

Funny, I don't see too much scientific peer-review in any of that lot.

But in Loki's original link (not Calleman's actual website, it appears) I did see:

The Tree of Life is referred to throughout the world in religious texts (Genesis) and myths; however, Suzzan relates, “this symbol is also deeply ‘rooted’ in the human psyche. We refer to the Tree of Life and its parts in our everyday speech with references like ‘getting to the root of’, or ‘putting down roots’ and our many references to ‘branches’. Whether we realize it or not, we are subliminally aware of our cellular connection to the Cosmic or Divine Tree of Life when we trace our way back through our family ‘tree’ to our ‘roots’.”

Sorta like, merely referring to a god concept means that a god must necessary exist, no???

Suzzan believes, “Money is energy that used correctly can change the world. So if anyone who has the means and wants to help, Dr. Carol needs a benefactor to sponsor her mission to the world leaders.”

It always comes back to that, eh?

No, you twat. An "observer" is integral to quantum interactions. An observer being an interactor, be it another particle or groups or particles called human beings.

Yeah, that seems to be another one of the recent 'go to' arguments the semi educated have adopted.

I think they adopted it from, as ever, Deepak Chopra, pinup boy for credulous mysticism.
