That is a somewhat ignorant take. You can argue that academia doesn't give a shit about the academic content of a Master Thesis beyond the formalities of producing the associated credential, after all academia is a de jure and de facto credential factory, and likewise the industries that employ people with formally irrelevant specializations care very little if at all, but the fact of the matter is that the credentials themselves have a measurable intrinsic economic value since the credential holders can access more jobs and demand higher wages and represent a large portion of the higher income workers. I'm pretty confident they also produce more and put less burden on society

Scientists themselves are the ones who have popularized mystical misunderstanding of quantum mechanics.
This is not only a form of disinformation, but also gatekeeping. Because it means it becomes much harder to learn the fundamentals of QM without actually digging deep into the papers.
Take for example this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9tKncAdlHQ
His explanation is deeply wrong on two accounts:
- You CAN actually observe the path taken with up to 98% certainty before losing the interference pattern (https://sci-hub.se/10.1007/BF00734319)
- "Unplugging the detector" can still cause the pattern to collapse, depending what you mean by that. Whether it collapses or not has nothing to do with whether humans are observing it. If you simply unplug the screen that the scientist is looking at, the interference pattern will stay absent. (Heisenberg 1958, Physics and Philosophy)
Then there is nonsense like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfouEFuB-co
Why are PhDs engaging in this nonsense? Do they actually not understand QM, is it wishful thinking combined with sunk cost fallacy, or are they doing it simply for the money? I think the first video might be a case of doing it for the money, while Penrose is doing it because of wishful thinking that humans are special, and now he's too deep in it to backpedal without looking like a fool.
Is there any physicist who actually believes the conscious observer nonsense in current year and is not bending the truth for their own personal gain? I'd like to know.
Why isn't this kind of behavior called out more frequently by respectable scientists? Is it because of fear?

>you can compute conditional probabilities but they are not divisible
Did you forget what we are talking about again? You can't compute P(event at t3 | initial state at t1, observation at t2) in his model; you can in quantum mechanics. This means I can use quantum mechanics to make predictions about real life, which I can't do with his model. I do not care whether his condition on expressions of the form P(state at t2|state at t1) holds.
>>
>>16291329
lol yeah i was just thinking if posting that exact video
>>
>>16291308
Like I only have grade school, but I know it's not collapsed by observer, but definately some sort of meta particle is harvested by sensor, which makes it not have wavelike nature, but really when I tried doubleslit, it was always interference, so I don't know what collapse of wavefunction is, maybe my sensors didn't crashed metaparticle.
>>
>>16296910
>You can't compute P(event at t3 | initial state at t1, observation at t2) in his model

umm the exact thing that cannot be done is this computation

p(s1 | s3) = sum p(s1 | s2)p(s2 | s3)

and you can't do that in quantum mechanics either

its notthat conditional probabilities dont exist. you just cannot compute them using marginalization

yeah you can compute it more easily with quantum mechanics and that is precisely the point of quantum mechanics when we look at it retroactively - the complex representation is more convenient than the stochastic one

putting forward this model is not meant to replace the complex representation

it is mrant to show that quantum mechanics is nothing more than a stochastic process.. so you can continue using the orthodox formalism with the understanding you are talking about a stochastic process

thats a false comparison because hoover dam produces something useful valuable while scientists produce worthless replication crisis papers.

>>16296853
>while scientists produce worthless replication crisis papers.
Scientists produced every single piece of scientific knowledge that exists. Their research is the basis for every technology that exists, this knowledge is mixed up with some fake research but its no major issue discarding that garbage, mostly because its impossible to use fake research in producing technology.
The replication crisis just reduced the financial efficiency of scientific research, not nullifies it. Is this too nuanced for you?

The lathe is thousands of years old, and was invented and improved over that time by thousands of researchers a.k.a people doing research. It doesnt matter if they published a paper or not.
If you have a grudge against institutional research in state institutions just say so rather than broadly attacking scientists. A person following the scientific method is a scientist, this includes whoever tinkerer made the first wooden lathe millenia ago.

So, how accurate is really this film. The whole blight excuse to abandon Earth seems contrived and turned me off. It was cool to see the time dilation, but I'm sure this one is exaggerated too, specially with the inner more extreme planets. Obviously the inside of the black hole is complete bs, but what else?

When they visit NASA, there is a room filled with crops that were thought to be extinct due to the Blight, further proving they could have just created domed farmland and been completely fine.

Also the retarded time paradox - humans from the future created the wormhole that allowed humans to go to another part of the galaxy. Humans, who would have all died because the Blight would have killed them due to the only solution to surviving the Blight being a wormhole that requires humans to not be killed by the Blight to evolve and create.

>>16279166
Low IQ is associated with poverty, e.g, bad home environment and lack of resources. Poverty is the real issue. Racism (or the caste system, or apartheid) is simply a known inducer of these things. Compare an Indian farmer who lived in poverty his entire life vs one raised in a western country and became a software engineer.

It's not the only cause of poverty. The rich want to keep their workers poorer so they keep wages low and living expenses high. Or the rich who already have the power simply don't care or arent smart enough about using it to advance their people (certain dictatorships). Or maybe they just want their population to stay dumb to keep them in power (certain states). Human reluctance to change is common (rural kid doesn't want to leave the farm for a better life in the city, an adult not wanting to leave the job they had for 10 years). Religion often holds people down too.
