Quantum mechanics has this extreme intellectual sheen, and disagreeing with the orthodoxy is a surefire way to self-recategorize as a crank. The layers of lindy thinking accumulate into unquestionable dried crusts that seminarians are instructed to accept on faith so they can join the church of shut up and calculate.

The only problem is externality pricing.

Honestly, maybe this is what qft has been saying all along and this confused bullshit is just the popsci hangover from the old generation of thinkers that exploited the ambiguity of qm to write books about woo, spook, consciousness, and magic.

What if:
- photons don't exist, it's merely that emission and absorption are quantized
- low angle polarization can coax em waves into new polarizations
- high angle polarization (e.g. 0 and 90°) fully absorbs the energy of a wave

Seems like you could explain almost everything that way

It ain’t much, but it’s honest work

One man's wizard is another man's mid curve.

I'm not disagreeing with the math of quantum mechanics — its predictions are accurate. I'm disagreeing with the interpretation. And I think interpretation matters because it has implications, ranging from algorithm design to security to worldview.

Incredibly mid curve take lmao

QM is still exceptionally hotly contested so much that recent winners of 2022 Nobel were trying to poke holes in it as you mentioned in your video in the thread

I don’t get the negativity here — QM continues to stun scientists that it’s an accurate description of the world

Have I asked you, how do you like Carlo Rovelli and loop gravity

Understanding and harnessing the mystery of Quantum entanglement will be our escape from Earth.
