Quantum WAR theory
I know it is not yet backed by any mathematics but something tells me that the energy of our own thoughts may very well travel through reality, allowing the subconscious mind to pick up on things. Can't be proven or disproven by maths yet
A person can reliably believe it is true if they have experienced things such as that for themselves.
I have occasionally been able to figure out what others have been thinking without even looking at them at all while they were in the same room.
Call me a loony if you like, but i have a friend who often gets visions from the future when she is meditating. She does not like it though. She has predicted a lot of disastrous things which have come true.

Such things may well be possible, and there may be a physical explanation -- it just isn't likely to be quantum mechanics.
I'd suspect knowing what people are thinking/feeling is more a matter of picking up on movements, tone, and a million other things, in a sort of "wholistic" way. The human brain is amazingly good at such stuff, I think.
I'm not arguing such things never happen, just that appealing to QM wierdness doesn't really make sense, and QM isn't a likely explanation.
...
So, again, the Copenhagen interpretation is that the wavefunction "collapses" instantaneously upon "observation." But that in no way means that the observer can affect the outcome of the experiment. That leap doesn't hold.
That its not backed up by maths, is just because its illogical to our system, so that we cant calculate where the particle went when it was more places at once. It is irrelevant anyway, because whats matter is that the phenomena exists, because we can see the different results. So you cant neglect something that is proven to exist. How we affect the particles is another question, which I was adressing with this post.
But hey, I did write a theory and I was only intending to have some philosophical fun here. Cause it is interesting !
My honest opinion is that there things are connected to spirituality. When people mediate and try and practice ideologies of peace, love, healing and positive thinking, combined with good health they have a better chance of being able to tap into these types of energies.
I view the soul as being separate from the body. The body to me is just the medium which it uses to communicate information to and from the "outside world"

Yeah, me too. I think it is very likely that we directly affect reality with our thoughts, like reality affects our thoughts.
Though I see at least one other possibility: That reality is reality no matter what we think, so that we just have (at least) two different physics: the logical and quantum. In this case we have no choice but accept it.
It is very much worth a try though, as there are plenty arguments, throughout the history of mankind, that supports the theory that we affect things by our expectations and our attitudes.
Like the phrases: (Im still not native english speaking)
-everything you do will come back to you.
-you should be careful with what you wish.
-good seeds good.
and so on.
I get your point.
2 types of physics though.... i'd say they are both part of the same "system" of laws, but we just don't know how it functions yet.
The hadron collider and things like that are making some progress is helping understand what is happening further down the scale. Hope that in our lifetime we can make from big progress.
The very smallest thing we can conceive, the vibrational energy that is the foundation of everything is soooooo tiny. It may not stop there either.
Check out this to get an idea of how small these vibrations might be.

Yes of course that its logical that if the two physics co-exist, they have to be part of the same system and therefore be connected.
I was just considering another theory and wanted to make the point that we either have no choice but affect reality to become "logical" -> next to the theory that we can affect (and change) it per attitude.
If we only affect it to become logical, it means that we just restrict the possibilities in the quantum reality to the only solution thats logical to us, like the experiment shows -> the experiment actually only shows that our brains affect matter from behaving illogical to become logical.
But since we have to learn what reality is from the beginning of our lives, it is unlikely that we only restrict it to one solution, because if this is true, all our brains must have the same basic function of understanding logic from the beginning. And if this is true, our brains "know" more than we do. It is more likely that our existence dont have this automatic understanding of logic, because our brains grow, so we cant have a completed wisdom from the beginning. At least not as a knowledge in our brains, but then I imagine like a sort of predeterminated interaction between our existance and reality.
Now, if you dont look at the process, the result is not logic (the particles are everywhere at any time, interfering with themselves), so you have to view the actual process to make the result become logical. Now that disproves that we affect reality to be logical simply by our existence, because we have to concentrate on it to make it logical. Therefore I hereby make a distance to the theory that we have no choice but living in a logical world, because the world is not logical as long we dont watch the processes. That means that everything is possible as soon as we ignore it, and we only receive random results.
I think the hypothesis can be tested by seeing situations with different attitudes. I have discovered that I actually can make a bad surrounding become totally cool if I change my attitude to be positive, and the other way around. If I only concentrate on what I like, my view of the world become good in every way and actually a lot of good things happen. Now it is the question if I only detect the good things and ignore the bad things (view the bad things from another angle and see the good in them) or if a lot of good things actually starts happening (like the movie PatrickNeville linked to about "the law of attraction"). I will start to make a statistic on this.
