Sometimes folks will hang their hats on some tiny, ridiculous thing and you have to remind them that , actually no. Tiny ridiculous things on average tend to scale as tiny ridiculous things.If your searching for ground truth it would be ridiculous to start with those. Start at the top level and work down. Start with #Gravity, not #QuantumMechanics. The rule first, not the exception. As above, so below. Old School.
There is a reason. Scammers all over the place
#Physics -
Long unsolved problems in (place favorite discipline here) are always going to evolve camps that believe some other camp has screwed up big time. The #StandardModel has problems. #QuantumMechanics has problems. #Cosmology has issues. #Relativity has...okay you do you.
At the boundary of our abilities things always get a bit wonky,. For #QuantumMechanics things get pretty weird almost immediately.
Our theory and knowledge have limits. We push them and then complain incessantly.

Researchers at Aalto University have successfully built the world's first cyclic quantum heat engine inside a superconducting circuit, operating near absolute zero. The microscopic device harnesses the minuscule amount of heat present in ultracold quantum conditions to cyclically output positive work.

Wow. Sabine gave a study a 0 on the Bullshit Meter. Is this the first time? A rare event has occurred. Give these people a Nobel.

If you ask a number of smart and well-studied Physicists whether you can write quantum mechanics using only real numbers, they will nicely split 50-50 into a group answering "Obviously yes!" and another answering "Obviously no!", with only a tiny fraction admitting that this is a non-trivial question.
Which is why I love this kind of papers: https://physics.aps.org/articles/v19/85 -

[en] Moore’s Law? When #computer chips can't get smaller (can they?)
"... in the last 15 years, transistors have gotten close to the point where #quantum mechanics starts to interfere with their function: just a few dozen nanometers in size. They can’t get smaller."
"... approach familiar to urban planners: build up. On Thursday, #IBM announced it has created a #chip that uses this strategy. The new #architecture, known as a #nanostack, vertically stacks transistors in two layers on a #silicon chip."

Max Planck won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. He is considered the father of quantum mechanics. So why were two of his papers retracted?

as anyone who's read Wilkinson's famous monograph carefully enough would tell you ;)
`In this Letter we show that a physically motivated postulate about composite quantum systems allows us to construct quantum mechanics based on real numbers that reproduces predictions for all multipartite quantum experiments. Thus, we argue that real-valued quantum mechanics cannot be falsified, and therefore the use of complex numbers is a matter of convenience.`

1/n Systems, #QuantumMechanics , Current Challenges : Back in the day when phones were often to be found in phone booths it was normal to consider QM and its associated weird bits irrelevant in #MacroscopicSystems. At this point even the Amish have left those notions behind. Once Bose Einstein Condensates became a thing we were off to the races. These days we can describe #BlackHoles as quantum objects.That's big ! We have learned how to make QM macrostates consistently persistent. That is...

Hello, nerds. Welcome back to my AI writing experiment with Gemini.
We just dropped the third part of our "Disenchantment of Modern Science" series. Anyone here still holding a grudge over the "Sokal Affair"?
I was on the winning side laughing back then, but it feels like that whole drama never got a proper sequel... so I decided to give them the counter-attack they deserved!

Welcome to my AI writing experiment with Gemini, a highly encouraging co-writer of mine who drives my madness up to eleven.
Some of you might dislike this article because it’s mocking "science." But hey, when the US president lies about his war preferences in public, and science magazines declare that "this entire universe is a computer simulation!", why can't we have our own fun?

Quantum mechanics, the physical theory describing the behavior of atomic and subatomic particles, can be successfully formulated using solely real numbers. This mathematically rigorous alternative challenges the traditional reliance on complex numbers, which incorporate both real and imaginary components, to describe quantum states.

Me and Gemini wrote a sharp satire on modern science PR! Space-time didn't collapse—it’s just standard hardware validation, wrapped in post-modern marketing spin.
