Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of Quantum Medicine, exploring its possibilities and implications within the field of physics and medicine. Participants express varying perspectives on the scientific validity and relevance of Quantum Medicine, touching on its theoretical underpinnings and potential applications.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a belief in the potential of Quantum Medicine despite acknowledging the lack of scientific reliability, suggesting that there may be overlooked aspects worth considering.
  • Another participant points out that while certain areas of physics receive significant funding, many other fields, including Quantum Medicine, are also being studied, indicating a diversity of research interests.
  • A third participant distinguishes between two interpretations of Quantum Medicine: one as a form of quackery and the other as a legitimate field that could be informed by quantum principles, particularly in relation to advancements in DNA-based techniques.
  • A later reply comments on the perceived inactivity of the original poster after their question, implying a lack of engagement in the discussion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the validity or applicability of Quantum Medicine. There are competing views regarding its scientific foundation and relevance, with some dismissing it as quackery while others see potential in its theoretical aspects.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the ambiguity surrounding the term "Quantum Medicine" and the varying interpretations of its significance in both scientific and popular contexts. There are unresolved questions about the definitions and implications of the concepts discussed.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in the intersection of physics and medicine, particularly those exploring unconventional scientific ideas or the implications of quantum principles in biological contexts.

Hi guys,

This is my first post on this forum so... Nice to meet all of you :smile:

I´m about to start physics this year and get focused on Quantum Medicine as a latest goal. I´m well aware of the lack of facts that show off any kind of scientific reliability about such subject nowadays. Any how I´m truly believe (please feel free to think how naive a human being can be ;-)) there is something else on this that makes me thing there should have something else our last generations (and the current on) we all are missing to consider as a small likelihood to be truth.

If I´m not wrong. all physicist´s efforts (e.g most of the Institute Max Plank´s plans) as well as budgets are pointed to Quantum Computing instead of other branches within the Quantum Science itself.

Apologies for the lack of skepticism taking into consideration but as no thread has been open yet treating such subject I would be more than happy to know your point views about that.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to PhysicsForums!

There is one area of physics that gets most budget, and there are thousands of different areas being actively studied at one time. There is always room for another curious mind, and I hope that describes you.

The answer really depends on what you mean by quantum medicine.

If you mean the quackery that goes under that name in certain quarters of the populist press then forget it - its just that - quackery.

If you mean that basic quantum principles lie at the foundation of medicine, and will be more important with the growing use areas like DNA based techniques, then yes its important. But its importance is a derived sort in explaining and understanding such, rather than direct applicability itself.

Thanks
Bill
 
you seems very inactive after posting such an interesting question
