Right...

The double slit experiment is a real thing and it has nothing to do with the positive thinking or this law of attraction crap. In the absence of a detector, the path of a single photon fired at the double slit is a probability function rather than a definite path, and individual photons interfere with themselves. Adding a detector collapses the probability function and forces the photon to act as a particle rather than a wave.
Dr. Quantum is a nutty pseudo-scientist, but this is an accurate description of it (and probably what your friend sent you)
