There are indeed people who attempt to link the spiritual world with quantum entanglement.
There are indeed people who attempt to link the spiritual world with quantum entanglement. Notable examples include physicist Harold Puthoff, who engaged in parapsychology research, and the declassified CIA document Quantum Physics and Parapsychology, both of which explore connections between quantum theory and paranormal phenomena. In spiritual and popular writings, the idea that “observation determines reality” in quantum mechanics is often paralleled with spiritual worldviews, and some propose quantum brain theories suggesting that entanglement in the brain underlies consciousness or spiritual phenomena. Main arguments include: (1) nonlocality, where distant particles instantly correlate, likened to remote spiritual influence; (2) wavefunction collapse through observation linked to the intervention of consciousness; (3) quantum effects in the brain hypothesized as the basis for spirit and awareness; and (4) higher-dimensional models taken as potential bridges to a spiritual dimension. However, mainstream science emphasizes the lack of reproducibility and testability, noting that quantum entanglement cannot transmit information and thus cannot explain spirit communication. Furthermore, quantum effects occur at microscopic scales, making their extension to macroscopic systems like the brain or the spirit world highly problematic. In conclusion, while linking the spiritual world with quantum entanglement has gained traction as a philosophical or metaphorical idea, no scientifically established theory currently supports such claims.
