SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of quantum reality and whether quantum mechanics (QM) provides evidence that "everything is happening simultaneously." Participants express skepticism about claims made in popular media, labeling them as pseudoscience. The consensus is that while QM offers a robust framework for understanding observations through probability models, it does not definitively support the notion of simultaneous events. A referenced experiment from Scientific American, titled "Quantum Microphone," is suggested as a potential source of evidence, though its implications remain contentious.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with probability models in physics
  • Knowledge of scientific skepticism and pseudoscience
  • Ability to critically evaluate experimental evidence
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the "Quantum Microphone" experiment from Scientific American
  • Study the foundational principles of quantum mechanics
  • Explore the role of probability in quantum theory
  • Investigate common misconceptions in popular science regarding QM
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, science communicators, and anyone interested in the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics and its interpretation in popular media.

Does something in QM suggests that "everything is happening, here/now at once? Is there any evidence to prove it? (quantum reality)

I saw a video about it on the internet, I will not post the source, because I think it is pseudoscience, but he confirmed that QM proves it..lol

Please, I don't want to spread nonesense, I'm just asking a question, answer me .. yes (there is a experiment that suggests it.) no (there is no single evidence)

It's BS,

All QM is, is a theory about observations. Those observations are described by a generalised probability model that's very reasonable for describing physical systems without giving the details. It's silent about what's going on when not observed.

That's it, that's all. All the other stuff is utter sensationalist BS.

Thanks
Bill

This is the experiment that you're looking for:
