Quantum Theorem Shakes Foundation

Is this going to be a breakthrough in science? I hope so. Never was comfortable with the traditional quantum interpretation.

Einstein might have been right after all. I knew he was a very smart Jew.

Not sure I see what's so revolutionary, but then I always take it with a heaping pile of salt when theoretical physicists (or any scientists) decide they've already reached the limit of what they can know about something.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Limit? That's not what science is about. Science is about searching endlessly for new questions and answers. I don't see no limit thar.

Yeah, that was my point. I was talking about ideas like this:

the idea that the wavefunction reflects what we can know about the world, rather than physical reality, has come back into vogue in the past 15 years with the rise of quantum information theory, Valentini says.
