".....a theorem showing that if a quantum wavefunction were purely a statistical tool, then even quantum states that are unconnected across space and time would be able to communicate with each other. As that seems very unlikely to be true, the researchers conclude that the wavefunction must be physically real after all."

Can someone shed some light on the implications of this?

Yes, the stock market will drop at least a hundred points unless other factors make it rise a hundred points in which case it may either stay the same or change. This is virtually certain to occur at some point in time.

Wave function, no doubt.

hmmmmm....I'm also baffled.

The line between science and spirituality continues to thin. This is the final nail in the coffin of the 19th-century materialist world view. If the waveform represents physical reality then this directly implies that consciousness chooses how physical reality manifests itself from the infinite field of possibility. Accept this theorem and one can no longer deny the primacy of consciousness or it’s transcendency and call oneself a scientist.

Step by step (real) science continues to approach the Godhead.

The article made my brain freeze. I am depending on freepers to put it into language I can understand. Brain still going in circles saying “WHAT” GG
