Are these critics valid?
Probably not. Progress in Physics is most likely a predatory publisher. Very often predatory publishers choose journal names that are similar to respected journals.

In this case “Progress in Physics” is trying to masquerade as “Reports on Progress in Physics” which is a well-known journal that is indexed and has a decent impact factor.

“Progress in Physics”, in contrast, does not even show up on the Clarivate master journal list and has not even been given an impact factor. The low response and deceptive title are indicative of predatory publishers.

The forum rules explicitly disallow Vixra as a source. It’s that unreliable (or more precisely, reliably bad).

I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...
