No doubt. But the facts of which the opinions are held are pretty staggering. Von Neumann got a proof wrong in his textbook on QM. Grete Hermann found the error in 1935 and nobody noticed. De Broglie presented a "pilot wave" theory at the Fifth Solvay Conference in 1927. Einstein kept pointing out the problem with non-locality and everybody thought he was getting old and foggy. Physics is hella tribal. Physics. I took the Copenhagen metaphysics pretty seriously. It's so neat and elegant to confound the mystery of quantum wave-function collapse with the mystery of subjective experience. The "observer-created Universe" and all that. It's very disturbing to realize that it's basically metaphysical bunk. It's just staggering. But never mind all that! The Universe is non-local! *And yet-- Relativity!" Nothing can go faster than the speed of light, but wave collapse does, so this is going to be some awesome physics! |
