The Nobel Laureate Who (Also) Says Quantum Theory Is Totally Wrong

YT recommendation I didn't watch, just posting for reference:



This kind of New Age mumbo-jumbo is what quantum "science" is really about. All of this BS about how we are all one, we are all from "some other place" which is "outside the Simulation", and so on, and so forth. Gnosticism 101. Occultism. New Ageism. Quantum theory is tailor-made to be a science-y foundation for all of this New Age theology which is required in order to usher in the Beast System.

Most of quantum theory is not even wrong, it's literally unintelligible. When you say "a particle can be in two places at once" you are mincing words. Either "particle" doesn't mean what we normally by that word, or "places" doesn't mean what we normally mean, or "at once" doesn't mean what we normally mean. Or, you're just spouting gibberish. A particle is a small speck of something. The smallest thing you can see with your eye is a particle of dust/sand. When we invented lenses and microscopes, we were able to "zoom in" much further, and then a particle became a very small molecule far beyond the resolution limit of the naked eye. And when we invented the scanning-electron microscope, it became much smaller than that. And so on, and so forth.

Equivocating over the definitions of things doesn't make your theory super-genius, it makes it nonsense. When we say, "Where is the particle?", we mean, "Where do I look in order to see the particle?" if the answer to that is "I don't know", it doesn't follow that the particle is "everywhere and nowhere, at once"... it follows that you don't know where the damn particle is. If you say "it's over here with 80% probability and over there with 20% probability", OK, fine, that's a perfectly valid delimitation of your ignorance, but you are still simply saying that you don't know. It's OK not to know. But don't try to equivocate ignorance with absurd claims like "the particle is everywhere at once".

Your mathematical model might work by approximating the probability of the particle's position, summed over all possible points in space -- this is just the Lagrangian method. Let's not reify mathematical methods and treat them as though they are literally existing. A resonating guitar string is not literally a mathematical sine curve. Its vibrations just happen to be very accurately modeled via the mathematical sine function. This is what happens when nerds lock themselves away in the Ivory Tower so long that they start to lose touch with reality. No, you haven't "seen what's outside the Simulation", you need to go touch grass...
 
My main problem with quantum physics is that it has nothing to do with science...

Philosophic quantum musings taught to physics students include:
Schrodinger's cat.

At university the only quantum 'experiment' I did, was a computer simulation.
For some reason I never thought that this proves anything!
