I found this article too difficult to dismiss. Anyone who can tell me where it goes wrong, please do : but not by dismissing psychoanalysis. I'm already doing that. I just need a good reason why this guy is wrong:

shouldn't the unobserved events leading to synch be running up instead of down? This is an interesting idea though.

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

== Unity of Nature essay ==

Abstract from "The Unity of Nature and the Search for a Unified Field Theory" by Dr. Frederick Alzofon

This paper exploits the observed transformability of radiation into matter and its converse to develop a theory that is unified in the sense that radiation and matter appear as different aspects of the same field: the matter-radiation field. The paper is based upon and discussed from a classical viewpoint, emphasizing conceptual aspects, rather than the theory's formal structure, which has been detailed elsewhere. It is shown that, by incorporating an observed property of radiation into the basis of the theory -- fluctuations in the intensity of the radiation comprising a light signal in a vacuum -- the Lorentz group of rotations can be extended to include translations of space-time, of vanishing average magnitude. Moreover, a fundamental nonvanishing average alteration in the metric of space-time (a quadratic expression), analogous to the case for Brownian motion is induced. The corresponding alteration in the equations of motion for the field gives rise to equations of motion of Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac matter-radiation fields.
