Quantum Physics was the branch of science that initially defined the atom and the spectra of light emitted by different atomic species, such as isotopes and nucleids.  As technology advanced and we gained knowledge of molecules and atoms, Newton’s laws and the laws of electromagnetism were not sufficient to explain the orbital motion of electrons.  This opened the door to higher levels of thinking about the relationship between all elements in the universe.  Quantum mechanics defines the complex study of elements and their relationship to each other in time and space – Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle; the Theory of Unity; wave particle duality; quantization theories of particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum optics; and quantum entanglement, where two objects may be spatially separate from each other, but can only be described in reference to each other.

The Law of Attraction says that thoughts introduced into reality can attract like energy, and, this energy can be harnessed and directed.  In order to benefit from this energy, you must:  know what you want and ask the universe for it; feel and act as if you already have it, or that it is in the process of becoming reality; and be open to receiving it.

This system of belief has been around for centuries, and is displayed in the words of Buddha, through beliefs of ancient Hinduism, in theories of positive thinking and thought vibration of the 19^th  and 20^th centuries.  More recent enthusiasm has arisen from the March 2006 film, The Secret, which has been highly acclaimed and recommended by Oprah Winfrey on her daytime television show.
