Quantum theorem weirdness gets weirder: Apparently the wavefunction is a real physical object after all
Check the link for the full explanation of what’s going on here (my biologist’s brain starts melting a little when it comes to wavefunctions). But here’s a quote:

“I don’t like to sound hyperbolic, but I think the word ‘seismic’ is likely to apply to this paper,” says Antony Valentini, a theoretical physicist specializing in quantum foundations at Clemson University in South Carolina.

I don’t wanna sound obvious, but that’s pretty hyperbolic.
