Quantum Physics is a branch of physics involving the study of matter and energy. It has taught us that particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously and that the act of observing them can affect their behavior.
The Quantum Physics link to synchronicity pertains to the behavior of particles understood by quantum physics. Just as particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, events in our lives may also have multiple outcomes, and our perception determines the one we experience.
While it is fascinating to explore the possible connections between quantum physics and synchronicity, scientific evidence supporting such a connection is little to none.
