Hi Yuri,
Well, quantum physics describes a lot of space between particles, but I
wouldn't advise your trying to put you fist through a "spacious" brick
wall. What works on one level of analysis doesn't always translate up,
scale-wise.
Many of the discoveries made by neurophysiological research have been
implicated clinically with great success. The patients are helped.
I suggest that you don't allow yourself to get *too* caught up in the
arbitrary nature of reality on the quantum level. The not so arbitrary
nature of reality on this level can be pretty cruel.
Regards,
Matt
