The above article gives lots of evidence to support the claim we are living in a simulation. I know this is usually considered hypothetical, but in the article they give physical explanations that fit topics discussed in this forum. Please read and give your opinion

I hadn't noticed that, but I'm still not sure. They give some convincing arguments in my opinion
 
Only because you desire to be fooled on this specific topic. Scientific American has a long history of publishing April Fool’s joke pieces.

Idk, there's nothing stopping them from presenting something that's true of true adjacent as an "April fools joke".

Nothing stopping them, sure. But here on PF we hold a higher standard. We require that all posts be consistent with the professional scientific literature. Scientific American is a pop-sci source, not part of the professional literature.

If you wish to discuss this topic here you will need to get a real reference. Not a joke piece in the pop-sci literature.

Thread closed.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
