If pseudoscience wants to succeed, it must rely on scientific names, and the modern pseudoscience of traditional Chinese medicine is no exception. The difficulty of quantum mechanics increases its mystery. Since it is difficult, it means that it is easier to cheat ordinary people, so scammers like Chinese medicine will wear the mysterious aura of quantum mechanics on their heads.
Long before this flawed paper on quantum acupuncture appeared, there were many pseudo-scientific institutions, such as the Institute of Quantum Medicine. The modern pseudoscience of traditional Chinese medicine has finally caught up. Congratulations.
Since the rejection of Wang Qingren's "Yi Lin Wu" in the late Qing Dynasty, the academic circle of traditional Chinese medicine has embarked on the road of abandoning the realistic anatomy, pathology and pharmacology and defending itself with all its energy. Since then, the academic circle of traditional Chinese medicine has produced a batch of excellent debaters and invented various rhetoric to prove that traditional Chinese medicine has always been NB, and it is always the most powerful and powerful. It is just a panacea for all diseases. For example, "the kidney of Chinese medicine is not an anatomical kidney" (it turns out that our ancestors never kept their promises? ) "Chinese medicine belongs to philosophy" (Ancient philosophy also has many absurdities, so it needs to be constantly improved, okay? Chinese medicine is a high-tech science. Then you can solve some scientific problems for us to see.
In reality, contemporary science is so powerful that even Chinese medicine cannot avoid the question of what is the relationship with science. For example, many people take artemisinin as a defense, thinking it is the contribution of Chinese medicine, so as to prove that Chinese medicine is also a science. Don't you know it's not what they think? Mr. Tu Youyou, they screened out such a prescription from thousands of prescriptions (showing how high the elimination rate of waste drugs is), and finally proved that such an ancient man still made a mistake, even the basic plants were wrong (how do you say this? None of the thousands of ancient prescriptions is effective! ), the final synthesis of artemisinin comes from Artemisia annua, and it is not the original component of plants, but a new drug synthesized by modern chemical industry.
Think about it, modern Chinese medicine pseudoscience can't even explain that Chinese medicine is scientific, and it will still be obsessed with it. They see the opportunity of quantum mechanics, and of course they will not miss the good opportunity to collude with quantum mechanics. Because most people don't know what quantum mechanics is talking about, or what strange terms are talking about in China's ancient medicine, we can put a scientific and fashionable coat on the wrong ancient medicine with modern science that everyone believes in. .
As the fable says, when truth and lies bathe in the pond, the lies first come out of the water, put on the coat of truth and run away. Because of their clever deception, they quickly won the favor of the public. When the naked truth appears in front of people, people refuse to believe it and may even drive it away.
The root of all this is that our society is too tolerant of the theory of yin-yang and five elements, which has long been proved to be wrong, and the absurd Chinese medicine based on it. Therefore, this lie is not too unexpected. It has fertile soil-most people are lazy and unwilling to think. This wrong way of thinking will still produce a large number of similar scammers in the future. Let's wait and see.
You guys are making a fuss. The fundamental reason is that you always wear colored glasses to see Chinese medicine. I will ask you about scientific superstition. How can you be qualified to comment on things that have been scientific for hundreds of years, tens of thousands of years of Chinese medicine, and hundreds of years? Your ancestors didn't see Chinese medicine? How did you survive without Chinese medicine? Now there is a bad atmosphere in society, that is, everything should pay attention to science, as if without science, human beings can't survive. I'm telling you, you are superstitious about science. Science is the biggest superstition in the world!
I don't believe in science, so I have a good life. My daily job is to support Chinese medicine online. Chinese medicine is my life and the root of the Chinese nation. Without Chinese medicine, the country has no soul. Science is a big lie. There are too many things in the world that science cannot explain. Do you dare say that scientists can explain them? If you say that science can explain everything, then science is superstition! The great scientist Einstein believed in Chinese medicine in his later years. Einstein told Newton that the end of science is Chinese medicine! Who is he? Einstein was the inventor of alternating current and also invented flying saucer! How much do you weigh as an anti-TCM person? Can you compare with Einstein? If not, just shut the fuck up and learn Chinese medicine honestly.
Quantum mechanics has nothing to do with acupuncture. How can a person who engages in traditional Chinese medicine explain those complicated concepts in quantum physics clearly? Even those who study physics may not fully understand it without studying quantum mechanics. We can assume, on the other hand, that if people who engage in quantum mechanics study the so-called acupoints and meridians, will it be convincing?
I won't quote the story of "a Chinese medicine practitioner" mentioned by the subject, and many media on the Internet have refuted it. Here I only talk about my personal views:
Scientific mind is not human instinct, otherwise we don't need education or schools, only libraries and laboratories, or wolf children can become wildlife scientists after returning to society. But this is not the case. Wolf children are usually mentally retarded and it is difficult to return to society. Even after several years of school education, most students who graduate every year are just "basic outlines" squeezed out by the examination-oriented framework.
Scientific mind includes rational, objective and prudent attitude, which is based on adhering to scientific principles, sufficient knowledge and self-reflection. Although the above-mentioned "basic outline" has entered all aspects of social economy, it does not necessarily require a high degree of scientific spirit, so various "wonderful" philosophies have been born in different circles and levels. It is not a bad thing to let a hundred flowers blossom and have diverse ideas. However, the maturity of the scientific mind of the whole society shows the advanced degree of society, and a society full of "metaphysics" and complacency will not bring benefits to human development.
In addition, age, education and experience are not necessarily related to the degree of rationality, so anyone in our society may become irrational at any time and do things that are not in line with objective facts. This situation is understandable, but the irrational result is bound to be "slapped" by the objective reality. The more it deviates from the objective law, the heavier the slap will be. Therefore, anyone's view of himself and others should be rational, cautious and reflective, that is, the so-called "three provinces", rather than irrational praise, touting or abuse and slander.
Personal intuition is absurd to the "quantum acupuncture theory", but after self-reflection, I think people can put forward their own theories and reflect the openness of society, but all kinds of wonderful ideas will ultimately be judged and chosen by this society. This judgment and choice should come from everyone's independent judgment, rather than echoing authority and others, which may be more important.
But in the end, I hope that most people can treat such things with an open, objective and reflective attitude, instead of emphasizing the realistic principles of science or the mysterious attributes of metaphysics. The human mind should never be black and white.
The origin of this statement is that an acupuncturist published a paper on "quantum entanglement" and acupuncture.
The citation of this paper is zero. Although it has no academic value, it has produced repercussions on the Internet because it adopts the thinking mode of "analogy" and caters to many people affected by traditional foolish thinking.
I am a doctor majoring in communication, and I know a little about quantum mechanics. My book "Popular Science of Quantum Communication" was published by Xinhua News Agency Outlook Think Tank and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League.

Special reminder, please check the status of the think tank by yourself.
I read this acupuncture paper in full, and found that the author's understanding of quantum entanglement is completely wrong, and then on the basis of the wrong understanding, I made a far-fetched argument by analogy.
What is "analogy"? This is China's traditional way of thinking, and it is also the main way of thinking in the construction of TCM theory and methodology. It refers to a way of thinking that is based on observing things and gaining direct experience, expressed by concrete images and symbols of the objective world, and reflects the universal connection and regularity of things by means of metaphor, symbol, association and analogy.
For example, pangolins are good at digging holes, so they are used for breastfeeding. We all know this is nonsense. The key lies in the backward and foolish thinking mode of "comparing classes with images".
As for the experiments of stinging relatives, most of them share the same room, which fundamentally violates the principle of "double-blind" and is a farce.
It's been 2 1 century, and it's almost 5G, but such stupid thinking still exists openly. It is really difficult to eradicate the dross in China's traditional culture.
Due to the mistakes in the basic theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Chinese medicine has never been greatly developed and improved in the practice for thousands of years. What should we do in the face of people's doubts?
The medical skill is not enough, and the myth comes together.
After thousands of years of exploration, tricks, bragging, masters, etc., it is tied to Chinese medicine. There are many tricks, but none of them are related to medical skills.
What is advanced, what is bondage, and what is mystery. Quantum acupuncture, nano-insole, remote pulse diagnosis, and even philosophy, ethics, morality, culture, patriotism, etc. are inextricably linked with Chinese medicine.
There is only one purpose: to fool money.
Do you know how many patients (including heart enlargement, dilated heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, heart failure, ascites compensatory and compensatory cirrhosis, spinal fluid accumulation, etc.). ) I have given up Chinese medicine? How many facial paralysis, infantile cerebral palsy, congenital muscular atrophy, apoplexy and sequelae of apoplexy, lumbar vertebra and cervical vertebra, acute and chronic arthritis have been cured by acupuncture? Everything has side effects, and drinking too much water will lead to bloating and edema. The key is when to use it. If the patient is dehydrated, he should be hydrated. There is also a key question, that is, the level of that doctor, no matter how good and high the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is, is it useful to put it in the hands of a doctor who is not proficient? Just like a top sports car, can it have the same effect in the hands of ordinary people and racing drivers? However, many doctors in our country are average, and a large number of Chinese medicine practitioners can't even reach the average level. Most people see a doctor because of this majority. How does it work? Therefore, no matter how good a thing is, it depends on whether the person who uses it can use it. For more than ten years, Lao Tzu has saved tens of thousands of patients with Chinese medicine, which makes you keyboard men and sprayers of black Chinese medicine angry. You are so ignorant and fearless!
Guan Ke said: "However, the theory they established is definitely not quantum, because according to the basic principles of quantum mechanics, quantum mechanics can only be applied to microscopic objects (such as single electrons and atoms), and the applicable dimensions of life phenomena are too large, such as human tissues and organs, and even silver needles and a neuron used for acupuncture are too large for quantum mechanics."
The official must have forgotten Schrodinger's poor cat, or not, but he thinks cats are too big to be studied by quantum mechanics.
If we can't find anything illogical in Schrodinger's reasoning, what makes us say that quantum mechanics doesn't apply to cats? What makes us say that quantum mechanics is not suitable for such a big object as people?
Think about the family emblem that Bohr personally designed for his family after he became famous. It is basically a pattern of yin and yang fish. Bohr publicly stated that his inspiration came from China's thought of balance of yin and yang, because this thought coincides with his complementary thought.
Therefore, it is not surprising that people in China believe that giving their mothers a shot can cure their children's diseases, even believe in "magic", and try to find a reasonable explanation from quantum mechanics, because they have the same ideological foundation.
Mysterious and mysterious, the gate of Wan Qi.
I won't discuss the right or wrong of Chinese medicine here. In ancient China, there were "magical powers", such as stabbing a doll from a distance to harm people, and so on. Such plots are more common in Gong Dou's plays. Suppose such a thing happens, how should it be explained?
First of all, I think something similar happened in ancient times. Today we have modern scientific knowledge, which can be understood as coincidence. However, if someone tries to find a causal explanation for these accidents, they need to construct a theory or a rhetoric.
The ancients had a story in their "magic" system (or we can give a story in the fictional fantasy novel), but if a modern person is serious and willing to construct a story in modern scientific terms, this attempt is certainly possible.
At present, the most popular and fashionable scientific terms are quantum and related quantum entanglement. I sincerely believe that Chinese medicine scholars who have published papers are really trying to construct a theory of quantum acupuncture based on quantum entanglement from the perspective of exploration.
But the theory they established is definitely not quantum, because according to the basic principles of quantum mechanics, quantum mechanics can only be applied to microscopic objects (such as single electrons and atoms) that are small enough, and the applicable dimensions of life phenomena are too large, such as human tissues and organs, and even silver needles and neurons used in acupuncture are too large for quantum mechanics.
We usually use thermodynamics (equilibrium or non-equilibrium thermodynamics) to study such a huge and complex physical object, and thermodynamic fluctuations will destroy the quantum coherence of the system.
Finally, the research of quantum biology is very popular at present, but quantum biology is aimed at specific biological macromolecules and studies the transport phenomenon of protons and electrons in specific molecular structures, which can be quantum.
The reason why there is such a tradition in the field of traditional Chinese medicine is that it is difficult to fully explain the current science of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, as long as there are new technologies and theories, there are always people in the field of Chinese medicine who are wondering if they can explain some phenomena of Chinese medicine.
In fact, this ridiculous phenomenon occurs because the parties simply don't understand these new technologies and theories. It feels like pseudoscience.
In fact, from the motivation, the parties are all out of "good ideas" and hope to explain some phenomena of Chinese medicine with the help of some so-called new theories. But going too far is pseudoscience and even being called a liar.
If Chinese medicine really develops, it must have a good scientific foundation, and then combine modern science with Chinese medicine in depth, and maybe we can find a correct development path in the future.
Recently, "quantum acupuncture" has been greatly ridiculed, but I believe that most people who laugh at it should not understand what quantum is (including myself).
Although I am engaged in acupuncture, I don't know quantum, and I have never engaged in "quantum acupuncture". However, I have something to say about the one-sided ridicule of "quantum acupuncture".
The other day, I watched Mr. Shi's speech. Teacher Shi mentioned that many of our problems are determined by the microstructure (such as receptors, genes or molecules), and the microstructure is determined by the ultra-microstructure (quantum level). So all kinds of unreasonable phenomena about quantum really have nothing to do with us? In every molecule of our body, quantum entanglement occurs all the time. Does it really mean nothing to us? It's more likely that we just can't detect it.
Although I don't agree with the idea of quantum acupuncture, I don't even agree with the scientific research method in this paper. It's just an exploratory paper, so there's no need to go online.
