    I hope you specifically refer to contemporary quantum physics here. Or do you actually believe that there is nothing scientific in quantum mechanics?

    I often find myself agreeing with Sabine Hossenfelder. I don’t subscribe to quantum weirdness.

    There’s plenty of rational explanations for “superposition”, observer effects, and so on.

      I must say it is not that clear to me what you mean with “rational” explanation? From a video of hers I just watched I (very wildly) guess that you mean deterministic? Is there at the moment any experiment telling superdeterminism apart from other interpretations of quantum mechanics?

      How does you notion of rationality tell us anything about how scientific some work is? If you want to claim that a given research work is bullshit, could you please point to another research paper that shows it, instead of making it seem like common knowledge?

          What about answering my specific questions instead of assuming I need an entry door to quantum physics? (as it happens, I do not)

          It seems that you are saying that getting familiar with Hossenfelder’s point of view will make me understand why the work cited in the New Scientist article is bullshit. This might have made sense had she not said herself that this experimental work is very important to better understand the foundation of quantum mechanics, and its hypothetical replacement.
