New quantum paradox clarifies where our views of reality go wrong (2018)

That quantum mechanics is a successful theory is not in dispute. It makes astonishingly accurate predictions about the nature of the world at microscopic scales. What has been in dispute for nearly a century is just what it’s telling us about what exists, what is real.

Galaxy S26 Ultra leak reveals camera and design upgrades, but not the ones you asked for
