The paper I refer to, I found on the Big Think blog titled "Is human consciousness creating reality? And here is the actual link to the paper. Unfortunately, this paper is too technical for me, hence the request for a review for such a big claim.

What do you mean by "review"? PF is not a journal and we don't do peer reviews of papers here.

If you are asking whether the claims in the paper are valid, the paper is in an area of very active research in which no claims are even testable by experiment at this point, let alone established. So the only possible answer to the question of whether the paper's claims are valid is "it's way too early to tell".

I'm not sure the blog post's title is justified by the claims of the actual paper. So if what you want is a review of the blog post's claims, as opposed to the claims of the actual paper I would say they're not justified. Which is not at all unusual for blog posts talking about research at the frontiers of science.

The actual paper is not about consciousness at all. It uses the "c" word only once, in an appendix, under quotation marks.

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
