Some day, when I have moree time, I will work on proving my theory that the entanglement doesn't really exist, and the whole quantum weirdness is just bs. But know I have to finish coding that data acquisition system. Priorities..

Kind of like my plan to prove flat earthers wrong using long range rifles and the Coriolis effect at different places north and south of the equator, still waiting on Argentina to give me permission to bring a bunch of rifles to Tierra del Fuego.

  coincidentally the flat earth movement is imploding a bit, as their 'thought' leaders were invited to visit the south pole to observe 24h day as witnesses. A thing technically impossible for flat earth 'model'. But they just started attacking each other as not reliable enough to go. Anyhow they would claim time near the edges slows down the time or the whole thing was a virtual 3d future tech used to fool them

    >coincidentally the flat earth movement is imploding a bit, as their 'thought' leaders were invited to visit the south pole to observe 24h day as witnesses. Got a link? That sounds hilarious but I couldn't find any articles about it (though I didn't search terribly hard).

        yup thats the one

You could always two time it. Earn enough money to do physics. Then do enough physics while living on ramen to extend the runway. Repeat it till goal is achieved. Quantum Silicon Valley.

I've heard Sean Carroll answer the question: "Why don't more physicists worry about the foundations of Quantum Mechanics?" He said something like: "They first say they have no time, and it doesn't affect their work anyway." (kind of 'shut up and calculate' - Mermin, summarizing post-war physicists) "Then they imply that if they stopped their work and thought hard for 20 minutes they could solve all the problems." Maybe not original idea from Sean, but it rings true in my experience.
