They can never go back and sue whoever sold them the wrong ideas.
What about regarding multiverse?
What do you think is happening with the double slit experiment?
That's a fundamental question about quantum mechanics that we don't fully understand.
So the debate goes back to the beginning of quantum mechanics.
I visited in August 2025, I attended a conference at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, beautiful place.
As I entered the conference room, the auditorium,
I realized that it looks familiar because that's the place where some of the most famous conferences on quantum mechanics were held when Niels Bohr was around.
And I sat on the bench, the wooden bench.
They told me, oh, you're sitting exactly where Wolfgang Pauli sat 95 years ago.
And I said, the only thing I could think when they said that is,
this bench is extremely uncomfortable.
Because, and I thought to myself, what kind of quality of life did they have back then if they were happy with this bench?
Because you can make a much more comfortable chair right now.
So why would they sit on this wood?
But apparently they did not have
high quality life back then and those distinguished physicists were sitting on this wooden bench and but i would trade everything i have for going back 95 years because it was a fun time of realizing something completely new about the physical reality nobody else knew before
And that is illustrated by the debate between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein.
Albert Einstein thought, oh, it's business as usual.
We just need to find some parameters perhaps that we are missing that would allow us to forecast how a quantum system behaves.
