Hi!

As a layman in quantum physics area i, without any sort of prejudice or judgement of any kind, would like to know how does quantum physics explain the phenomena of oracles.

OK, I'll bite. What's 'the phenomena of oracles'?

Hey. maybe i should have written more clearly. what i wonder is that oracles such as nostradamus or edgar cayce are phenomena themselves. how do quantum physics explain such phenomena? what is an oracle according to quantum physics.
 
I would guess that if such an oracle ever existed, it would be fully explained by the density matrix as anything else. I do, however, believe that most physicists don't believe in such phenomena as oracles as the ones you describe.

Quantum mechanics has nothing to say about the supposed abilities of such "oracles". And discussion of such pseudoscience is not permitted on PF. (See our rules, which are linked at the top of every page.)
