Is this an accepted viewpoint? I've never heard this before, and though I'm not a physicist I've certainly been taught that the arrow of time is thermodynamic.

- lisper 12y agoAccepted by who? It's probably not the mainstream view (yet), but that's because there's a ton of misinformation out there about QM. For example, many people (even many physicists) think that the "measurement problem" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_problem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_problem) is still a problem. It isn't, and hasn't been for a very long time (decades). The reason people think it's still a problem is that the solution requires accepting the fact (and it is a fact) that classical reality isn't really real, it's just a very good approximation, and a lot of people are (understandably) resistant to that idea.
