Summary

What is the "What the FUP?" Podcast, you ask? It's none other than Dr. Lindsey Osterman's new show with physicist Dr. Brian Gentry! We all watched "What the BLEEP Do We Know?" with a mind to critique it, but the episode turned into a fascinating Quantum Physics 101 lecture because there was so much to go over before we could even dive into how wrong the documentary is on every level!

Hello and welcome to Series Inquiries Only. I'm so excited about today's show. I've got two guests. One of them you already know.

0:35.0

It's Dr. Lindsey Osterman, associate professor of psychology at Rhono College, but also Lindsey brings a friend, Dr. Brian Gentry, who's a physics professor at Holland's University, because they are starting a show together.

0:48.0

They've got a podcast called What the F.U.P. and that stands for fucked up paradigms. It's all about pseudoscience and kind of how misunderstandings of science get weaponized and maybe sold and all that kind of stuff.

1:02.0

It's right up my alley. I can't wait to talk to them. We're going to talk about quantum physics because, of course, Dr. Brian Gentry is a physicist and knows all about that and how weird it is, but also how much everybody gets it wrong.

1:15.0

We all watched just for fun to illustrate the point. We watched that, I guess you could call it a documentary. What the bleep do we know just to have a bit of a laugh at that and maybe break down how wrong it is?

1:29.0

I know the movie is a bit dated, but this stuff still goes on now even today. It's embarrassing how bad it is. Brian and Lindsey are here to help illustrate that and explain what the actual science is.

1:44.0

So I can't wait. Let's get over to that interview.

1:56.0

Lindsey and Brian, thanks so much for coming on the show today.

1:59.0

Hi.

2:00.0

Hi, thanks for having us.

2:01.0

Oh, I'm excited. I don't know if this was required reading, but Lindsey had me watch this. What the bleep do we know?

2:08.0

So I'm mad about that. Brian, can I blame you personally for that?

2:12.0

You can. You can. That was the worst thing I've ever seen.

2:17.0

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Why don't we talk about your new show?

2:21.0

My background as a physicist, of course, makes me particularly irritated at certain aspects, both of this movie, what the awful movie, what the bleep, but also I decided to take a look around on the internet as we often do.

2:36.0

And I came across some stuff called quantum healing. And it turns out that this is a huge business right now. I believe the term initially is due to Deepak Chopra who published a book under that name.

2:51.0

But there are lots and lots of websites, lots and lots of people offering all kinds of so-called quantum healing modalities.

2:59.0

The quantum healing hypnosis stuff, which is and it's got you know trademark or whatever. It's I think that's about past life regression.

3:09.0

There's beyond quantum healing matrix energetics quantum touch and just on and on. So it seems to be business.

3:16.0

Yeah. Well, I mean, because it's way better than Newtonian healing, which is like involves ball bearings.

3:23.0

They launched you from cannons and stuff. Yeah.
