New Theory Claims Quantum Weirdness Only Exists in Our Imaginations

Quote:

Scientists just came up with the quantum version of the Matrix argument. According to a new theory in theoretical physics, quantum information doesn't have any objective existence, but rather is purely a function of our own minds. Quantum mechanics satisfactorily explains many of the mysteries of our universe, but also yields many paradoxes. When the wave function, which is key to quantum theory, is treated as real, particles can be in two places at once, information can travel faster than the speed of light (which is impossible according to general relativity), and Schrodinger's cat is both dead and alive. But according to Quantum Bayesianism ("QBism" for short), which was first theorized in 2001 but has gained prominence only in the last few years, the wave function is not real, but a state of mind that determines how we interpret quantum systems. As explained in a new paper in Nature, this theory contends that the wave function is sort of a subjective filter, a paradigm through which an observer sees a quantum system.

I totally agree (and very similar to how the theory of gravity must have a fundamental flaw)
