I enjoyed skynelson's attempt to use quantum physics to theorize about synchronicity and his "deep conviction that science can explain, literally, everything.". His explaination has some intuitive sense to it. I say intuitive because if we go back to the basics of science we visit again that science is based on the scientific method which requires that after observation, hypothesis formulation and prediction, experiments be performed to confirm or rule out the hypothesis. Later a theory is put forth. Unfortunately, with synchronicity experimentation is missing and not possible, therefore, it will always remain in the realm of metaphyscics.
Secondly, not all scientists have or do share the idea that science will or can "explain everything" I offer a few quotes which offer another point of view, "The entire universe has to be understood as a single, undivided whole, in which analysis into separately and independently existent parts has no fundamental status." Bohm or "...all knowledge in the conscious content is a differentiated system that cannot by definition articulate the universal principle of order." M Kafatos, R Nadeau or "There must exist, beyond mere appearances (...) a 'veiled reality' that science does not describe but only glimpses uncertainly. In turn, contrary to those who claim that matter is the only reality, the possibility that other means, including spirituality, may also provide a window on ultimate reality cannot be ruled out, even by cogent scientific arguments.” B.d'Espagnat
