Quantum physics: our study suggests objective reality doesn’t exist

Alternative facts are spreading like a virus across society. Now it seems they have even infected science – at least the quantum realm. This may seem counter intuitive. The scientific method is after all founded on the reliable notions of observation, measurement and repeatability. A fact, as established by a measurement, should be objective, such that all observers can agree with it.

If objective reality does not exist, why should I accept the conclusions of their study?

That’s the real kicker

And who or what is “I”?

> two different observers are entitled to their own facts

That can apply even in special relativity without QM. Observer 1 will see A and B as simultaneous, Observed 2 will see A happen before B. Observer 3 will see B happen before A. This is perfectly valid.

> “Bell inequality”

Yep, figured that this would be what this article was about. Another experiment confirming Bell’s inequality. Different way of doing it, though.
