Superdeterminism ruined the significance of DCQE experiment

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the impact of superdeterminism on the significance of the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser (DCQE) experiment. Participants emphasize the importance of maintaining an open and curious mindset in scientific inquiry, particularly when results appear consistent and expected. They advocate for a return to foundational scientific principles and suggest that collaboration and exposure to diverse perspectives can enhance critical thinking. The conversation highlights the evolving nature of science and the necessity of questioning established norms.

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.
