Sorry for taking so long, it's been unexpectedly difficult to keep myself from rambling and yelling at clouds. Again, there will be no math, but we will have to wade a bit more into the weeds in order to debunk the craziness. I hope it will all make sense, as much as quantum physics can. As previously mentioned, Fritjof Capra is one of the main culprits in this whole mess. Technically, other authors had first suggested that paranormal phenomena could be explained by quantum physics, but I'm holding Capra to a higher standard because he was himself a physicist and should have known better.
