The essence of the scientific method is that it is based on being able to repeat results. If you get the same results every time you do the same operation, and when anyone else who repeats it get the same result, you can safely conclude that you have a scientific explanation. But quantum mechanics says no, you have to assume everything happens with a probability but not with a 100% certainty. It's always statistical only. The two views are not compatible. Now that gives us a problem, because QM breaks science. Yet physicists tell us that QM is real. Basically they are implying we cannot trust science anymore. I realized this tonight when I realized that quantum connectivity might mean that sympathetic magic might have a real basis, but would be very hard to prove as it would be probabilistic in operation. Holy smoke. Might we want to rethink parts of old-time magic after all? Something to ponder.

What do you mean by magic? Things outside our plane of existence only seem like magic because we cannot grasp it within our dimensional constraints.
Yeah, quite possible. For example, if QM is more than three dimensional, it might be able to do things we cannot yet comprehend. Quantum connectivity implies some things happen instantaneously as far as our 3D view is concerned. But if QM operates also in a 4th dimension, that can explain such connection. 'Magic', parts of old fashioned primitive notions might well have bases in super science, things we do not yet understand properly. That doesn't mean the old mysticism and supernatural theories are correct, it just means our science views have holes in them.
What if existing implies as things inside (matter) of outside (immaterial) aka as partials at center of surrounding whole?
Ones consent to artificial influence by others (suggestion aka magic) tempts one to believe in "because" (being cause); while ignoring to be effect (growth) within cause (loss).
How constraint can "free" will of choice be? What if ones consent to the suggested choices by others tempts one to restraint ones free will of choice; hence binding it to others; which then wield a chain of command?
