Superdeterminism ruined the significance of DCQE experiment

AI Thread Summary
The discussion emphasizes the importance of maintaining an open and curious mindset in scientific exploration. It suggests that while physicists achieve consistent results in their experiments, this is due to careful design rather than any cosmic influence. The conversation highlights the evolving nature of science, indicating that what seems normal today may change with new discoveries. For those feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from conventional thinking, returning to foundational concepts in science and questioning established norms is advised. Engaging with diverse perspectives through collaboration, conferences, and interdisciplinary research can also foster curiosity and prevent rigid thinking. Ultimately, staying inquisitive and open-minded is crucial for continued growth and discovery in the scientific field.

I keep thinking that the universe "knows" when, how, where these know-it-all (no pun intended) physicists did their experiment so all the results are not only consistent, but perfectly normal, nothing freaky about it.

I'm no longer capable of thinking like a normal human being and subsequently gets surprised or even intrigued. What should I do?

it is important to approach any situation with an open and curious mindset. While it may seem like the universe is conspiring to make everything fall into place for these physicists, it is more likely that they have carefully designed and executed their experiments to yield consistent and expected results.

It is also important to remember that science is constantly evolving and new discoveries are being made all the time. Just because something may seem "normal" or "expected" now, doesn't mean it won't change in the future.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or like you are no longer able to think like a normal human being, it may be helpful to take a step back and focus on the basics of your scientific training. Remember to approach each experiment with an open mind and to question everything. This will help you to stay curious and engaged in your work.

Additionally, seeking out new and diverse perspectives can help to challenge your thinking and keep you from becoming too rigid in your thoughts. Collaborating with other scientists, attending conferences, and reading research outside of your specific field can all help to broaden your perspective and keep your thinking fresh.

Remember, as a scientist, it is important to stay open-minded and curious, even when things seem "normal" or "expected." Keep questioning and exploring and you may be surprised by what you discover.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
