WHAT?
This stuff blows my mind.

So we can check THAT off of our lists.
You cannot imagine how relieved I am on hearing this news.
The understanding of these theories is beyond about 99% of the population. I’ve tried on a few occasions and as soon as I think I’m getting close to understanding even a little bit of it, my brains hide in a corner and sulk for a few hours.

Really? I'm skeptical the researchers have solved the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance issue, without the use of turbo encabulators, which are not shown on the diagram.
Hardy’s paradox
Do I want a double cheeseburger or a Frisco platter?
Meanwhile Laurel’s Paradox . . . .
Where are Carol and Ted?
Not to be confused with Hardee’s paradox, which is that Hardee’s Frisco breakfast sandwich cannot be bought in California.

"It is my privilege to extend a laurel, and hardy handshake."
This is deep...
It basically means the universe, as perceived, only exists and follows rules WHEN it is being observed.
Two particles, on opposite sides of the universe, can interact with each other INSTANTANEOUSLY. Forget the speed of light. This is the speed of thought.
One could say this infers that the universe exists AS consciousness.
Remember in the Matrix when Neo could control reality with his mind? This suggests that we live in such a reality.
It isn’t that we observe things that exist...more correct is things exist BECAUSE we observe them.
My head hurts.
The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics basically confirmed this already, but this provides more specific experimental data that may help answer many questions in various subfields within physics. This discovery fits with a theory by Donald Hoffman, who thinks our minds don’t show us the real world, but a simplified version. The Nobel Prize winners and those this article reports on did actual experiments, while Hoffman’s ideas come from math and game theory, not lab work. These discoveries, along with the development of artificial intelligence that can think like humans, might help us understand one of science’s biggest mysteries: how consciousness itself works. Turns out that the laws of physics are really just a function of collective consciousness, and we are living in what could practically be considered a simulation. And now we’ve got more proof.

IOW... If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to observe... it still makes a noise...
Ooops! Time to re-program the Matrix!
So a tree falling in the woods does make a noise if no one’s there to observe it?
