A Scientific Explanation Of The Law Of Attraction
Since the DVD of The Secret came out, people across the world have taken a fascination with the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction states that we create reality through our thoughts and intentions. But does this "law" have any scientific verification?
Currently, the most misunderstood branch of science is quantum physics. Quantum physics examines the fabric of our reality and endeavors to explain how the micro affects the macro. Quantum physics is still largely immature, as we do not have the tools yet to see deep enough (small enough) into matter to know everything. However, what has been discovered so far is more than enough from which to grasp a functional understanding of the Law of Attraction.
One of the most compelling discoveries of quantum physics is that matter can behave like a particle or a wave. Permit me to explain A particle is solid matter - it is limited to being in one place at a time, and you can always identify its location.

A wave, however, is
not a finite point.
The definition of a
wave, as it relates
to physics, is as follows:
a progressive disturbance
propagated from point
to point in a medium
or space without progress
or advance by the points
themselves, as in the
transmission of sound
or light. Sound confusing?
Don't worry, you don't
have to understand that,
just realize that waves
are not finite. Light
and sound are examples
of waves.
Now what quantum physics has discovered is that when firing very small particles called electrons through two slits, if observation was made of the electrons while going through the slits, then they acted as particles. Each electron picked one slit, went through it, and hit the screen on the back. The result after firing hundreds or thousands of these was a two-slit pattern. However, if the electrons were NOT observed while going through the slits, they created a large interference pattern on the screen behind, which is the pattern caused by a wave. Additionally, the pattern displayed interference from the slits, which proves further that the electrons passed through the slits as a wave, and not as solid particles.
So what does that mean for us? When you consider the fact that electrons and other small particles are what our entire world is built out of, the implications are enormous. An observer actually affects objective events on a subatomic level. Our act of observation, thought, and emotion modifies the world. When scientists attempted to watch an electron and decide where it would go, they found that wherever the observer anticipated it would show up is where it would show up. The implications of this are equally huge - our expectations and beliefs literally form the world around us on a subatomic scale!
Obviously, the ability of our expectations and beliefs to alter and create reality is precisely what the Law of Attraction is teaching us. Now that you have a little science behind the Law of Attraction, maybe you can put your current beliefs aside and try it out. If someone told you that you could have everything you wanted, would that at least be worth giving it a try? Suspend your doubt, and be blown away!
