But as neuroscientist Russell A. Poldrack of the University of California, Los Angeles, explained to me, these fields are minuscule and can be measured only by using an extremely sensitive superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) in a room heavily shielded against outside magnetic sources. Plus, remember the inverse square law: the intensity of an energy wave radiating from a source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from that source. An object twice as far away from the source of energy as another object of the same size receives only one-fourth the energy that the closer object receives. The brain's magnetic field of 10-15 tesla quickly dissipates from the skull and is promptly swamped by other magnetic sources, not to mention the earth's magnetic field of 10-5 tesla, which overpowers it by 10 orders of magnitude!" − # Whittaker, S.

'''Attraction''', or the '''Law of Attraction''', is considered by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Thought New Thought] [[writers]] as referring to the [[idea]] that [[thoughts]] [[influence]] [[chance]]. The Law of Attraction argues that thoughts (both conscious and unconscious) can affect [[things]] outside the head, not just through [[motivation]], but by other means. Essentially, "if you really want something and truly believe it's possible, you'll get it", but putting a lot of attention and thought onto something you don't want means you'll get that too.[1][2]

The Law of Attraction became widely popular after the release of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_(2006_film) The Secret], a 2006 film by Australian television writer and producer Rhonda Byrne. Byrne followed up the film with a bestselling [[book]] of the same title and appeared on a series of talk shows in 2007.

Various [[scientists]] have stated that many of the Law's claims are impossible, violating [[scientific]] principles and a scientific [[understanding]] of the [[universe]]. [3]

In 1906, William Walker Atkinson (1862 - 1932) used the phrase in his New Thought Movement book Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World.[20] The following year, Elizabeth Towne, the editor of The Nautilus Magazine, a Journal of New Thought, published Bruce MacLelland's book Prosperity Through Thought Force, in which he summarized the principle, stating: "You are what you think, not what you think you are."
