Pseudoscience Vortex

[Diamond7]

An Arctic Vortex is a large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding the earth's poles, particularly over the Arctic. It is a natural weather phenomenon that occurs in the winter months.

The Law of Attraction Vortex, on the other hand, is a term used in the self-help and spiritual communities to describe a concept that is based on the idea that a person's thoughts and feelings can attract positive experiences and outcomes into their life. It is not a scientifically recognized term and is considered to be a pseudoscience.

Oprah Winfrey has spoken about the law of attraction and its relationship to money and success. However, it is not clear if she explicitly supports the idea that the law of attraction can be used to specifically attract money. Oprah has been known to promote positive thinking and personal development and has encouraged people to believe in themselves and their ability to achieve their goals, which are principles that are often associated with the law of attraction. However, she has also emphasized the importance of hard work and taking action in order to achieve financial success.

Oprah: "Hello everyone, and welcome to today's show! Today, we're going to be talking about the vortex - a concept that's been gaining a lot of attention in the self-help and spiritual communities. The vortex is all about harnessing the power of your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs to attract what you want in life.

Now, I know that this may sound a little out there, but I've been on this journey of self-discovery for many years now, and I can tell you that the power of your mind and your thoughts is truly incredible. So, today, we're going to explore the vortex, and I hope that by the end of this program, you'll have a better understanding of how you can use this concept to create the life that you want."

I agree with this to a measure or degree but if one just looks to being positive almost like being their god and not looking to the true God in prayer for him to be their supporter then I think they just end up feeling like they're just an empty cup and life loses it's meaning.

Oprah is yet another in a long line of feel-good self-helpers who promote this self-centered worldview, to the detriment of the traditional spirituality that people used to anchor their lives in. I can't stand her, and the fact that she promotes something makes me less likely to believe it than if she didn't do so. (See, e.g., the James Frey controversy.)

Well, sure. to a degree. Who can deny that our thoughts have a strong influence on the quality of our lives. That is why we must be vigilant with them. But do they somehow extend out into the cosmos and alter the occurrence of events? Certainly there can be no scientific evidence supporting that. And I am a guy who bough a metallic pyramid to wear on my head in the 70's. I am susceptible to pseudoscience. It appeals to me. Otherwise called 'Wu". I love it. So I must be especially careful with this kind of stuff. Vortex indeed!

Vortex is an energetic stream that belongs to our source. It is a sphere of high vibrations only, and by connecting to it, is what makes everything possible.

Bit rude, but thank you.

And this has any bearing on physical and life sciences, how? Because it does just look like woo and also just reads like a repackaging of karmic beliefs.

I'm not sure this nonsense is pretending to be science, so it is not pseudoscience.

The first person quoted was talking utter nonsense. After that it got worse, from irrelevancy to pseudoscience to "not even wrong".

But my son and I did the math. You could easily store the entire internet on the atoms that make up our body.

Disney had hologram technology in 1970. I went to Orlando because I wanted to build some of that stuff but the only job they had was building apartment buildings. They were desperate to find workers for that. Also, they talk about that sort of technology in Heaven.

My father was a medical doctor and for 50 years he used the power of suggestion and the power of positive thinking. We sometimes call this the placebo effect. SO science requires you to go BEYOND this. We know there is value in positive thinking. We have motivational speakers and even coaches are supposed to motivate their teams to get the best results. My dad use to do hypnosis and he would hypnotize a whole audience. He was a popular speaker and he would get a lot of invitations.

Yes, they talk about how your plant can store all the information for your computer. I won a bet because they said memory could not survive death. Our memory could be stored on our atoms and survive cremation. The atoms in our body could store all the information on the internet. Again, I got my son to do the math.

Several zettabytes (2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes)
of data, or billions of gigabytes on the internet.
7 octillion -------------(7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) atoms in our body.

What is the method of storage?

What is the method of storage?

Binary with bits and bytes. Computer language.

Single-atom data storage has just been figured out

Most basic form of data, meet most basic form of matter.

Binary is not a language, and more importantly, not a storage mechanism.

If I had some non-organic materials I might use Giant Magnetoresistance to impart magnetic domains that record patterns of bits. In this case, the "single atom" sits on a substrate, not all atoms would be useful. (This is also non-organic.)
