That takes me back to a slide in my physics honours talk.

1935: Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen show that quantum mechanics doesn't make sense.

1982: Aspect shows that nature doesn't make sense either.

I recently worked through this essay: https://quantum.country/qm

Thanks to that i understand what "Aspect shows that nature doesn't make sense either" means. I can recommend the article (and the three others) but it takes a few hours to get through.

However, the article also explains it without quantum mechanics. Polarized photons are enough to understand why our universe is not "locally realistic". Read part 2.

Because nonlocality?
