Just means she hasn't thought of the inevitable consequences. Besides, the paradox she is resolving isn't a paradox, she just does not understand the answer in standard QM.
- astrange 5y agoSeems like if you “thought of the consequences” and “understood QM” here you’d have a theory of everything all ready to go.
- lmm 5y agoI do, it's called "quantum mechanics". It's the most thoroughly verified theory in the history of physics, and in my subjective opinion the most mathematically beautiful one. It is the greatest pinnacle of human scientific achievement. But people think the idea that things might superimpose on each other like waves is weird, it's not what they see everyday objects that are 10,000,000,000x larger behaving, so it can't possibly be right, and they keep making up overcomplicated nonsense so that they can keep pretending that elementary particles behave like billiard balls.

- astrange 5y agoWhat’s going on with gravity though? Actually, did they decide if the holographic principle is true yet?
- lmm 5y agoI don't know, and a theory with a good answer to that may well supersede QM in the long run. But personally I don't find the idea of a standard model + spin-2 graviton so offensively complex the way some people apparently do, so I don't feel a lot of pressure to find a more unified theory of quantum gravity.
- naasking 5y agoIt's pretty hilarious that you think Sabine Hossenfelder doesn't understand standard quantum mechanics.
