    The subject of quantum reference frame seems very interesting ! Can you recommend a good review on the topic? This is the first one I ran into by searching on the arxiv, will try to have a look when I find some time

    I tried so hard to make it through this tripe. I made it all the way to “flying qubits.”

    It never ceases to amaze me how hard quantum physicists try to fool themselves.

    There is no actual science here. Nor fact. Nor increased understanding. Just bullshit.

    I will say that the science journalism is better than usual though.

      One has to keep in mind this is a popularization article though. If there is an improved understanding, it will lie in the underlying mathematical models, which are of course not presented in the NewScientist…

      It never ceases to amaze me how hard quantum physicists try to fool themselves.

      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.
