Quantum Bullsh*t: How to Ruin Your Life with Advice from Quantum Physics

The regular use of the F bomb threw me off at first, then made me laugh at loud and eventually helped me learn a whole lot about Quantum Physics.

Informative, helpful. Thank you, my dad loves it!

20 years ago, I bailed on my pursuit of a physics degree, tempted away by a sultry and exciting math department. I still left with a physics minor, but I have always regretted that decision. The professors were just. so. damn. boring. Also, I wasn't THAT smart. This year, I decided I'd go back to my roots and brush up on some material I spent tens of thousands of dollars forgetting. Enter this book.If Ferrie or some Ferrie hologram could teach physics in my/all schools, I never would have quit, I'd likely own many sweet lab coats, and physics would be the world's most popular major. The jokes-per-page metrics are off the chart. As you read, it's palpable how much fun Ferrie had writing this. Multiple times, I had to put the book down in order to properly shake my head in admiration (and anger that complex material like this is, relatively speaking, so poorly presented by other super smart people).This isn't the book for you if you want detailed proofs and thicc scientific notation. This IS the book for you if you're at least mildly fun at parties and you want a basic understanding of what quantum physics is all about. No physics majors or minors necessary.

Thought it would be funnier considering the title, but it was actually information overload.

Parts of the book were interesting, and I appreciated the simplified explanations of quantum physics topics I've read about in various other books - about 10 of them, during recent years.It was mostly tiresome to get through this book, however. The rather frequent swearing was off-putting and probably results in people taking his writing less seriously. Ferrie seemed to be using it as a way of demanding attention, but that approach just doesn't work. It comes across as condescending.I'm not sure who the author thinks he's helping. For example, I for one have followed 5D-related Facebook groups out of curiosity and as mentioned have also read some books on quantum physics, being an INTJ (personality type: research scientist, a very analytical type of person that's the rarest personality type). I've never even heard of all the quackery he describes as being out there: quantum energy devices, quantum healing crystals, and so on. He's preaching to the choir, as the saying goes - because his readers would never take such topics seriously.Crystals and sound-healing videos such as the Solfeggio Frequencies do have some strong healing properties, in any case.So far, I've read around 7 books about 5D. I have never heard of 5D being described as love - especially not in the simplistic way that the author describes. I've heard of it as a higher stage of spiritual development and interdimensional interaction that does not include time as a boundary. It's described as an empowering environment.Supposedly, we're now - or in the near future - in a part of the solar system that the Earth reaches every 23,000 years or so. This current placement is said to facilitate perception of, and interactions with, beings in other dimensions and/or on other planets. It means not being frozen in time as the Earth has been so far in its 4D environment.I think the author would scoff at sites such as Creative Numerology and articles about soul-tree astrology, which is a very accurate form of old Celtic astrology. Ferrie is on the life path of 6 and his soul tree is the cypress tree. (Both are determined by birth date; I found his online.) So far as I can determine, both of those systems of thought and experience describe him quite accurately. I didn't even have to use any quantum-related topics for that assessment.I highly recommend books by authors such as Chris Hardy, PhD, who's both scientific and spiritual. It seems that Ferrie would probably ridicule a blend of both approaches. That makes his writings and teachings less effective and less interesting, I believe. That's said from the perspective of someone on the life path of 9, in this lifetime. That means I probably don't have to reincarnate on this planet any more, and I thank God for that.

Never thought I'd laugh so much while reading on physics, already half through why the universe hates, love your writing style, with sarcasm.

The author explains Quantum Physics very well but I don’t know why he needs to use such disgusting language all the time it feels like I’m being talked down to and it feels like he is a dressing, mostly male barflies and I don’t know why. it doesn’t add anything to the book for me. His language creates an atmosphere. I do not enjoy.

Loaded with profanity, snarkism, wit, and fun. This is a book about a 15 year career in quantum physics that really pissed this guy off. It is the book I would liked to have written, but I went into medicine. Nothing funny about medicine; it’s expensive and it can kill you. Snark and profanity gets you in trouble with your department chair and nobody will sit with you at M&M Conference. In short go into engineering, medicine (and quantum physics) sucks.

I love science. But the author does his best to avoid writing about physics at every opportunity. The constant F words are boring, he constantly goes off on a tangent to avoid discussing the actual subject of the book Tried to trawl through but gave up half way through. Someone needs to tell Chris Ferrie that many people find physics fascinating, and don't need swear words, sarcasm, and fake attempts to be cool and hip to keep them interested!

This is a really, really funny book with a deep and important message that Ferrie manages to sneak into the story underneath all of the f-bombs and schitt. I highly recommend it if you want to learn a little bit about quantum mechanics, laugh a lot, and think about the far-reaching implications of quantum theory. It would be a great gift to help any gullible friend distinguish between quantum horseschitt and quantum bullschitt - whether the Internet variety or the kind people sometimes step on in many worlds.

Lo primero que me gustaría comentar es que coincido con la crítica al tono excesivamente sardónico del autor. Se entiende que el estilo sea desenfadado pero algunas expresiones y clichés se vuelven reiterativos, si al menos la ironía sirviera para poner mejor de manifiesto ciertos puntos sería aguantable.Al rato de leer (y reconociendo que el autor hace fácil que se avance rápido en la lectura por evitar un lenguaje alambicado y técnico), comienza a cansar el que aplique la ironía y el sarcasmo a casi todo.Si un lector compra este título es por esperar, precisamente, un poco de claridad a la hora de exponer los mitos y falsas promesas de las tecnologías cuánticas (más exactamente del modo de enfocar dichos aspectos en ciertas conferencias, artículos pseudo-científicos y noticiarios de TV).Por consiguiente, cuando todo se vuelve una crítica parece más una charla de cuñados que alguien intentando poner orden a los conceptos y clarificarlos.Considero que puede haber obras que hagan un mejor balance de lo divulgativo con la denuncia clara de los enfoques seudocientíficos, y sigo buscando la ideal. Tengo claro que esta no lo es. Si al menos costase 3 o 4 euros, aguantaría de mejor humor la decepción.
