Must watch (of course, as a French, I fully support swearing)
There more I think about this, the more disturbing it becomes youtube.com/watch?v=ZO5u3V6L…

This is what outrages me, scientists take tax money, produce obvious BS papers and then have the audacity to “discipline” people who call out their BS. So much of the “science” today is nonsense and only provides people with a paycheck. How can we solve this problem? 🤔

Also mein Favorit ist wohl eher #7, also dass Einstein sich mit "spukhafter Fernwirkung" auf Verschränkung bezogen hätte, denn das wird - selbst von Fachleuten - noch immer derart oft verbreitet, dass es als falsches Narrativ vermutlich gar unausrottbar sein dürfte. 1/2
I recently made a video about 10 physics myths, and a lot of you asked that I do another one about quantum myths in particular. So here we go. youtube.com/watch?v=rBKclxau…

According to a growing body of physics research, the dark energy in our universe is weakening over time. This indicates that our current standard cosmological model does not fit reality. Recently, a team of researchers came up with a theory which they claim does fit the new observations – they say that dark energy is caused by black holes. @skdh takes a look. youtu.be/kIH2zHwaw9w

OpenAI just released its GPT-5 LLM and AI startups across the world are still getting massive valuations from investors. But talk of Large Language Models hitting a “wall” are not going away. A new paper now explained what the real problem with AI scaling is. Is the AI wall real or not? @skdh has a look. youtu.be/mjB6HDot1Uk

According to Einstein’s theories, the universe started with a Big Bang singularity and is slowly expanding until it disperses into nothingness. But physicists have also come up with theories claiming that the Big Bang was non-singular and can repeat, restarting the cycle over again. These are called “cyclic models,” and they’ve re-emerged into the spotlight now that there’s mounting evidence that dark energy is weakening over time. However, a physicist from UC Berkeley recently published a paper which he claims “categorically rules out” cyclic models. @skdh has a look. youtu.be/-3uxcgyv1r0

Things are not looking good for the future of science publishing. Researchers are leveraging AI, paper mills are churning out more fake papers than ever, and people are constantly coming up with new strategies to abuse the peer review system. @skdh has a look. youtu.be/7NOWoQW5RLk

According to a growing body of data, dark energy is not constant. Instead, physicists claim, it’s slowly getting weaker. This has understandably shaken our understanding of the universe – this week, physicists show that the new data is compatible with string theory, and that the universe will eventually collapse. @skdh has a look. youtu.be/W3GDsMhZupQ

Most physicists believe that time fundamentally doesn’t exist, because the concept of time is incompatible with a model of physics where quantum mechanics and general relativity coexist. David Deutsch and Chiara Marletto have now shown that “constructor theory” can be used to construct time. @skdh has a look. youtu.be/WkIuIMbKny8

Recently, a physicist published a paper claiming that dark matter is the consequence of a mirror universe. What is a mirror universe? Is this idea as far-fetched as it sounds? Or does it actually make sense? @skdh takes a look. youtu.be/QOkIDWu73lM

In 1927, Einstein used a variant of the double slit experiment – at that time only a thought experiment – to argue that quantum mechanics are wrong. Up until recently, researchers have been unable to fully disprove his claims. Now, though, a group of physicists from MIT claim they’ve proven that Einstein was wrong about quantum physics by actually carrying out the experiment. @skdh has a look. youtu.be/75c2a-pFGS8

Is AI truly creative or is it, as Noam Chomsky put it, merely “high-tech plagiarism?” Multiple studies have documented that AI is more creative and more efficient at creative tasks than humans. But in a stunning paper that just appeared, researchers demonstrate that images produced with (simple) convolutional neural nets are 90% predictable by purely analytical methods. So how creative is AI really? @skdh has a look. youtu.be/Pyg-fsaia3A

According to a team of physicists, black holes can form inside of stars, slowly consuming them from the inside until they collapse. While this might sound like something out of a science fiction movie, it’s not complete nonsense. @skdh takes a look. youtu.be/UpdcqUxE-SQ

The discovery of quantum mechanics has fundamentally changed not just the field of physics but also our understanding of what reality is. @skdh has a look at just what makes quantum physics so weird and why it is so hard to reconcile with our perception of physical reality. youtu.be/ecTutLU2n48

Gravitational memory” is the idea that gravity’s ability to duplicate information from other forces should somehow store that information in certain masses. A group of physicists has now published a series of papers claiming that this idea might solve the black hole information loss problem and explain dark matter. @skdh has a look. youtu.be/kTMRo-0RL4U

Earlier this year, Microsoft unveiled its new Majorana quantum processor which supposedly used topological qubits which are less susceptible to noise. Unfortunately for the company, that claim was quickly disputed by quantum researchers. Now, though, Microsoft researchers have published yet another paper to the arXiv claiming that they’ve made another quantum breakthrough. @skdh has a look. youtu.be/lsUmeqO68dE

The African continental plate is cracking and will probably get a new ocean. Geologists can see the cracks forming in real time but it has so far remained unclear just what is causing this. In a new paper that just appeared, scientists say they have figured out what is going on. And that also gives us a clue to what might happen next. @skdh has a look. youtu.be/iPc60LUtzqk

Nuclear fusion technology is barely able to create net positive energy at the moment, but a fusion startup claims it will make the technology profitable by generating gold in fusion reactions. Really? @skdh takes a look at some modern-day alchemy. youtu.be/FpMb0NqMtGk
