A few days ago, a reader submitted a tip to the Ars newsdesk: he’d seen an ad appear for a course in “Quantum Jumping,” a service that purports to solve all your ailments of motivation, status, and finance. Intrepid traveler of the Internet that I am, I dove in, eager to see how someone had managed to bend modern principles of physics to help middle-class citizens double their salaries and realize their potential.
“I really was thrilled with the ability to cross all of the universes,” said one testimony. “I love that I can instantly reach Alpha now,” said another. Yet a third wrote, “I'm making a lot of new friends and they are all me. Me, in different realities.” What is happening in this strange, apparently otherworldly corner of the Internet?
“Quantum jump,” while a scientific concept, entered the common lexicon a few decides ago to describe a “big leap,” per the New York Times circa 1986. Actual quantum jumping describes what subatomic particles do when they change quantum states.
If an electron moves from one energy level to another, that is a quantum jump (physicists also refer to it as an atomic transition). A quantum jump can also occur when an electron’s angular momentum or spin changes. Scientists can’t ascertain these changes unless they conduct an observation of the particle, and the change of state happens so quickly the particle appears to be “jumping” between them.
To be perfectly clear, quantum jumping has nothing to do with travel outside of an atom, quantum or otherwise. It is not quantum teleportation, let alone physical teleportation. There is no information or matter exchange, and no extra-atom movement, during a quantum jump.
Knowing all of this about quantum operations, I was skeptical that Quantum Jumping had anything to do with them. But I signed up for the free e-mail newsletter anyway. (An e-mail to Quantum Jumping's contact form did not elicit requests for more materials or comment.)
The Quantum Jumping website and materials say precious little about how Quantum Jumping is supposed to work, mechanically. There is a lot to be said about what it is supposed to do for you: make you richer, taller, more successful; help you “get ahead in your career,” “learn new skills,” “improve your wellbeing.” Quality of life magic, for the low, low price of just under one hundred dollars!
The first e-mail newsletter “intro course” contains a PDF that is essentially a five-page description of Think and Grow Rich, a book about visualization by Napoleon Hill released in 1937: imagine yourself receiving advice from famous luminaries like Abraham Lincoln, Ghandhi, or Thomas Edison, and your destiny of greatness will manifest. Toward the end of the document, more modern influences are cited: “Remember how in the movie The Matrix, people were able to instantly download skills and abilities into their minds? What if that was real?… Well guess what? The Matrix was right.” In the last few sentences, the document states the process is based on “quantum physics and the theory of multiple universes.”
A video is linked from the PDF, described as “the first part of the introductory course on Quantum Jumping.” This constitutes a YouTube video that is an audio interview with Burt Goldman, the purported inventor of Quantum Jumping, set against vaguely inspiring imagery. Goldman is the interviewee and describes how he “discovered” a way to “jump into those other realities” provided by the conception of a multiverse.
During the video, Goldman invokes the properties of visualization. He also invokes the name of Steven Weinberg, a Nobel laureate.
“There’s an infinite number of parallel realities existing with us in the same room,” Goldman says. “Those aren’t my words, those are the words of a Nobel laureate in physics.” While Weinberg did write at least one paper on the conception of string theory and the multiverse, we had difficulty turning up a record of him saying there are multiple universes existing in the same room.
“The first time I [quantum jumped] I was two or three years old,” Goldman said, apparently describing some innate ability he learned to control, the way Alex Mack learned to control her ability to turn into a silvery puddle. But rather than changing states, Goldman asserts he’s conducting some kind of mental teleportation into one of many parallel universes dictated to exist by string theory.
“I do a quantum jump, and now I’m talking to the great photographer Burt Goldman,” Goldman said. “The best way that I can describe it at the time is a controlled daydream. It’s much more than that, but it’s the only way I can get you to understand it.” Goldman goes on to describe some cryptic advice his multiverse self gave him (“plant yourself”) that led to his participation in an exhibit at the International Photography Hall of Fame.
Goldman attempted to tie Quantum Jumping back into principles of physics. “When you turn on a radio, you can only listen to one frequency at a time,” Goldman said. “Likewise, in our universe, we’re tuned into the frequency that corresponds to a physical reality, what we know.”
If only the rest of us had thought to imagine reality as a radio station. Subatomic particles changing states and your self changing universes are, when we think about it, really the same thing, for large approximations for “same.” Come to think of it, we should be jumping to different universes to talk to different versions of ourselves just as often as these other versions are cropping up in our living room, asking for philosophical guidance. It’s time to balance the scales!
I’m not here to judge anyone for using visualization as a motivation technique; whatever helps you sleep at night/better the third world/become the CEO of a company. But science is not for you to co-opt, smear on a couple layers of mysticism, and market as the key to success. Mysticize if you want; just keep quantum physics out of it.
