New Physics Experiment Indicates There's No Objective Reality

This is well over my head to understand fully.

Quote:

Someone once said: "The world is all that is the case."

But, is it?

Researchers performing a long-awaited experiment created different realities that are irreconcilable, proving that objective facts can be made to exhibit properties that cannot cohere, according to a recent study shared on a preprint server.

Sound confusing? You're not alone in thinking so, as this all involves some pretty complicated physics. But in short, the takeaway is this: Reality is at odds with itself.

No doubt, this will make the Donald happy. Just consider the options this opens...

"Nobel Prize-winner Eugene Wigner described a thought experiment in 1961 that highlighted an uncommon paradox of quantum mechanics."

Well, yeah.

Have you ever read more than two pages of the US Politics thread? :hmmm:

It may not be correct-The word Matrix popped up in my head when reading the article.

What's reality ? Is mine reality not real, while yours is ?
Do I exist ? I think therefor...Was it me who created this thought or...... ?
