but the fact is that it is working

This does not prove that quantum physics is the cause of the LOA working. Christianity viewed life and claimed such complex organisms must be the result of a designer; science explains complex lifeforms through the theory of evolution. Two very different explanations, each valid arguments, but the existence of complex lifeforms does not immediately prove either right. The LOA working could be the cause of many things; and I highly doubt Quantum Physics could be this cause.

Only if the positives and negatives of every factor involved were completely equal

Can I ask exactly what you mean by the phrase's 'positive' and 'negative'? Oh and while we're here could any of the 'lolz, quantum physics proves LOA, lolz' crew please provide me with a source to a distinguished (i.e. peer-reviewed) physicist who approves of these ideas. Because believe me if there was a peer-reviewed physicist with such a report on human mental impact on environment this would have exploded in the scientific community by now. And unfortunately it hasn't. So show me the evidence and maybe I'll start playing along.

Masked in what sense? Most of the important processes in the human world are "under the surface" and so far science has benefited whenever people start to understand things with increasingly finer granularity. Quantum physics research is already proving itself useful.

I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't talking about the impact Quantum Physics research is having on the world. That is certainly huge and will continue to benefit us for many years. I was referring to the probabilistic nature of Quantum phenomena. For example light can take many paths in it's journey from the sun to our eye. If you could slow down time (by a factor of say, 100,000,000) and zoomed in enough (by a factor, again, of say 1,000,000,000) you would see some very odd things happening. But up here, because things are so small and fast relative to us, we don't see this, we just see the collective packets of photons known as light.

It's difficult to explain Quantum Physics. I've studied it myself and I struggle to explain it to people or even understand it myself. Richard Feynmann once said;

If you say you understand Quantum Theory... you don't

My own advice is to steer clear of mystics and quasi-scientists who try to rope you in with this stuff. If America's most prodigious physicist was not willing to say with confidence that he understood the theory, no mystic has a chance.

I have no problem with the LOA in a spiritual container. If you believe life is subjective and you are an individual consciousness surrounded by manifested intentions instead of fully conscious people that's perfectly fine. But mix it with science and I start to get annoyed and offended. I did not spend three months struggling to grapple the concept of light as possessing both qualities of a wave and a particle to see someone oversimplify such ingenious yet conceptually murderous ideas in order to sell a few tapes/books/DVD's.

EDIT: I found a quote which sort of sums it all up for me;

...if you think really, really hard, say, about vigorously cavorting with Salma Hayek on a soft, fluffy bed of Google Series A preferred stock, you will emit a magnetic signal to the universe that will make your vision a reality.

Of course, this is utter nonsense. Magnetic fields are capable of attracting only two things: other magnets set at opposite poles and three different metals.

By the way the quote was from Greg Beato and the context was, thankfully, satire
