Quantum healing

Quantum healing must be better than faith healing because it talks about quantum which makes the healing scientific. Googling quantum healing brings up any number of sites; below are some examples.
==Deepak Chopra==
Deepak Chopra applies quantum woo to heal a patient's body. According to Chopra:Quantum Healing interview With Deepak by Daniel Redwood (1995) Health World (archived copy from July 6, 2004)
... huh?
==Quantum touch==
The ladies are doing it as well as Chopra. 
And there's more! Did you know that you can heal by touch and by the power of love? Your love has extraordinary healing power! Quantum Touch, the Power to Heal Basically, it's like other forms of hands-on healing, like Reiki and therapeutic touch. One difference is that the power of quantum touch is claimed to consist in certain techniques that can be learned. In Reiki, by contrast, laying-on-of-hands is said to only be effective after healing powers have been "transferred" from the teacher to the student (a process called "attunement" in Reiki parlance), regardless of how well an unattuned believer might follow the Reiki hand movements. Quantum Touch is also claimed to be "a therapy that helps bones to spontaneously adjust to their proper alignment."Quantum Touch, About.com.
==Quantum depth healing==
Quantum depth healing looks like a relatively harmless placebo but one of the names involved is a Ryke Geerd Hamer. Well down on the page comes:Quantum Depth Healing: All that you are is a result of all that you have thought Elevated Therapy International (archived copy from January 22, 2006)
Hamer was jailed for 12 months in Germany from 1997 to 1998, and served a prison term from September 2004 to February 2006 in Fleury-Mérogis, and in France on counts of fraud and illegal practicing. He subsequently lived in voluntary exile in Spain until March 2007, when he allegedly moved to Norway.
Hamer has been in prison many times and has caused the deaths of patients through discouraging them from following proper medicine that works. He seems to believe in a crazy International Jewish conspiracy to suppress his deadly so-called medicine.

Quark

The quark is one of the two basic constituents of matter (see lepton). They make up hadrons, which are simply composite particles made of multiple quarks. Examples include various mesons (quark-antiquark pairings), baryons (made up of three quarks), and exotic states containing yet more quarks/antiquarks.
==Size==
Quarks are smaller than protons and neutrons; indeed, there are three quarks in each of these subatomic particles. As far as early 21st century scientists know, quarks together with leptons are truly fundamental and cannot be broken down further. They take their name from an invented word in a passage of James Joyce's stream-of-consciousness novel Finnegan's Wake.Quarks and Leptons
==Flavours==
Quarks come in six delicious "flavours": up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom.(Note: Yes, those are the real flavors.) Oddly enough, they do not come in mint, vanilla, chocolate, raspberry, strawberry, or any other normal flavors. Up, charm, and top quarks have a charge of +2/3, while down, strange, and bottom quarks have a charge of -1/3.
Generation	charge +2/3 	charge -2/3 	charge -1/3 	charge +1/3
1 	up quark 	up antiquark 	down quark 	down antiquark
2 	charm quark 	charm antiquark 	strange quark 	strange antiquark
3 	top/truth quark	top/truth antiquark	bottom/beauty quark	bottom/beauty antiquark
Fittingly, a proton consists of two "up" quarks and one "down" quark. Second and third generation quarks are unstable and will spontaneously decay into first-generation quarks in a few yoctoseconds or less, although hadrons composed of such quarks tend to last somewhat longer.
And scientists think the Higgs boson may be just what is needed to give quarks mass.
==Trivia==
Contrary to the snicker you will inevitably hear whenever you utter "quark," they do actually exist. At least one can be found serving drinks on Deep Space 9. They might be pronounced qu-ARK or perhaps qu-ORK, no one seems to agree.

Quasar

A quasi-stellar Radio Source (quasar) is a term used to describe the brightest and most distant objects in the known Universe, which emit up to a thousand times the energy of our own Milky Way galaxy. 
Quasars have a very high red shift which indicates extreme distance and age. The most distant quasar ever discovered is a mind-boggling 12.9 billion light-years away and would have formed when the universe was approximately 770 million years old.http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1122/
In early January 2013 a cluster of quasars was discovered that measured 4 billion light-years across, making it the largest structure ever discovered in the Universe.http://news.discovery.com/space/galaxies/scientists-find-universes-largest-structure-130111.htm Seriously — think about that for second… 4 billion light-years…
The brightest (not the ) quasar is named 3C 273 and it's located at a distance of 2.5 billion light-years. It can be seen with amateur telescopes — as a star-like object — in the constellation of Virgo. 
==What are they?==
The properties and formation of quasars was historically controversial.
However, in recent times quasars are believed to be formed by the accretion of material into supermassive black holes.http://www.universetoday.com/73222/what-is-a-quasar/ Essentially, quasars are galaxies in the very early stage of their formation, where there's still enough infalling matter to feed that voracious black hole in its center. As the material swirls down the drain on its way to the event horizon, it heats up. A lot. The result is a hell of a lot of radiation across a wide variety of frequency bands.
==Little Green Men==
When quasars were first discovered, nobody really knew what they were. In 1963, Nikolai Kardashev (of fame) speculated that the newly discovered quasar CTA-102 might be a radio beacon developed by high-tech space aliens. The Byrds even wrote a song about it:
If quasars really are artificial radio beacons, they are an awfully large and inefficient way to generate radio signals.

Question of Homosexuality

The Question of Homosexuality is the title of a speech by Heinrich Himmler from February 18, 1937. The following is an excerpt from that speech:
== To sum up... ==
Himmler saw homosexuality as a crime worthy of the death penalty. He proclaimed that the state very much did have business interfering in what two consenting adults did in the privacy of their bedroom, because the bedroom was where the next generation of Aryan men and women was conceived, and anything that might reduce the birth rate would allow Germany's enemies to out-breed them. In short, homosexuals were literally killing the German nation by not having children. It was the same belief that underpinned the Nazis' views on women: demographics were destiny, and German families needed to produce large numbers of babies who would grow up into soldiers to fight Germany's wars. Later on, Himmler explicitly connected the Nazis' homophobia and anti-feminism when he argued that both homosexuality and women in the workforce would lead to a breakdown in the meritocracy, as workers would be promoted based on physical attractiveness rather than competence (attractive women under straight bosses, attractive men under gay bosses).
How this was supposed to deal with gay men who were in the closet, we will never know.

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur

Anything said in Latin sounds profound. No, really, that's what "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur" translates into English as. In other words, if it's incomprehensible and unexplained, don't take it at face value.
Nonetheless, abusing Latin for pseudo-profundity remains very popular with doctors, snobs, etc. One of the few practical applications of a knowledge of Latin is making sport of people who do this.
==Examples==
The use of the Bible texts provides the classic case of Latinate mystification in history. From the early Middle Ages onward, the deliberately used translation of the Bible into classical Latin, a language which became less and less comprehensible to the uneducated masses as classical Latin gave way to medieval and later into the separate Using hifalutin magick enabled the Western European clergy to conveniently "interpret" the Bible to mean whatever they wanted and increased the power of the priest-caste relative to the importance of the Word.
Until the adoption of the printing press in the 15th century, almost all books in Europe were produced in Latin (or in ancient Greek) because all educated people learned classical Latin and it thus functioned as a "universal" language for the "in" crowd.
In the UK, Latin was formerly an essential part of a gentleman's education, but today it is seldom taught in state schools and Latin classes are restricted to the most expensive fee-paying schools. Hence it is particularly popular with a certain type of posh, privately-educated British Conservative politician such as Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg.This lunacy about Latin makes me want to weep with rage, Boris Johnson, The Daily Telegraph, 15 Mar 2010Jacob Rees-Mogg isn’t old-fashioned, he’s a thoroughly modern bigot, Suzanne Moore, The Guardian, 6 September 2017
==In other languages==
In English, which nowadays is ~30% Latin in vocabulary already, Latin abuse is somewhat justifiable, as it lacks the feature of word compounding. Although this is the result of abusing Latin like this for centuries.
But the situation of Latin abuse is worse in other languages that are neither based on Latin nor English, and have no need for foreign words either. In such languages, notably German, the usage of Latin (and in the past also English) can be almost exclusively attributed to this kind of abuse.

Quod erat demonstrandum

Quod Erat Demonstrandum (normally abbreviated to Q.E.D.) is a Latin phrase that means literally "that which was to be demonstrated."
In normal English, this means "thus it is proven", or "so there, nyer nyer nyer"; the Latin equivalent of a mic drop. It is used formally after the last line of a mathematics proof, and colloquially in discussion or argument in a similar fashion.
==Confusion==
Due to the scary nature of Latin, many people have been misled into thinking it actually stands for "quite easily done", which stems from math teachers who — thinking they are clever — tell this joke without identifying it as such.
This ignorance is actually a godsend (or, alternatively, a curse), as it allows the educated to correct their cretinous peers in as condescending a manner as they feel necessary.
==As a fallacy==
While fancily ending a syllogism of one's proposal with "Q.E.D." totally sounds like something a college dean — learned at the topic at hand — might do, doing so is actually not the least bit indicative of said argument being logically acceptable.
Here's an example of the "Q.E.D. stamp" being applied to a blatantly fallacious argument:
As such, treat unexamined claims of Q.E.D for what they most likely are — mere pretentious Latin shorthand for shouting "Nailed it!!" while touring the room for high-fives.

Qur'anic scientific foreknowledge

Qur'an scientific foreknowledge (also known as Qur'an scientific miracles) is the idea that the Qur'an, through Allah's revelations to the prophet Muhammad, accurately predicts scientific knowledge that could not have been known at the time of its writing, or about 609 to 640 CE.
With the rise of Islamic creationism, increasing numbers of Muslims are supporting the Qur'an as This makes about as much sense as Biblical literalism (read: next to none).

RATE

Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth (RATE) was a project by creation pseudoscientists from the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) to study radiometric dating as applied to the age of the Earth. The results of the RATE team supposedly bring into question the accuracy of radiometric dating, attempt to show a young Earth, and support the reliability of the Bible.
RATE included John Baumgardner, Andrew A. Snelling, and Russell Humphreys, all of which have accredited degrees in their respective fields. Their study focus included Polonium halos, dating of Grand Canyon rocks, potassium-argon and argon-argon dating, helium diffusion in zircons, and Carbon 14 decay.
RATE's cherry picking and shoehorning of scientific data is matched only by their blatant disregard for legitimate scientific study and the scientific method. Their work has been largely discredited by a diverse number of physicists, engineers, geologists, and religious organizations.Randy Isaac,
 Assessing the RATE Project. asa3.org, 2007. "Any portrayal of the RATE project as confirming scientific support for a young earth, contradicts the RATE project’s own admission of unresolved problems."Creation Science Exposed: Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth. oldearth.org. "The purpose of RATE was to find ways that radiometric dating can be discredited. Although they have made numerous claims, none of them have proven to be scientifically sound." For example, in Helium Diffusion Rates Support Accelerated Nuclear Decay, Humphreys et. al. state:
This and many other spurious claims were thoroughly discredited by Henke [2005-2010]:
Furthermore, Loechelt [2009] states:
