EXCERPT: After researchers found a loophole in a famous experiment designed to prove that quantum objects don’t have intrinsic properties, three experimental groups quickly sewed the loophole shut. The episode closes the door on many “hidden variable” theories.
[...] [John] Wheeler was espousing the view that elementary quantum phenomena are not real until observed, a philosophical position called anti-realism. He even designed an experiment to show that if you hold on to realism — in which quantum objects such as photons always have definite, intrinsic properties, a position that encapsulates a more classical view of reality — then one is forced to concede that the future can influence the past. Given the absurdity of backward time-travel, Wheeler’s experiment became an argument for anti-realism at the level of the quantum.
But in May, Rafael Chaves and colleagues at the International Institute of Physics in Natal, Brazil, found a loophole. They showed that Wheeler’s experiment, given certain assumptions, can be explained using a classical model that attributes to a photon an intrinsic nature. They gave the dragon a well-defined body, but one that is hidden from the mathematical formalism of standard quantum mechanics. Chaves’s team then proposed a twist to Wheeler’s experiment to test the loophole. With unusual alacrity, three teams raced to do the modified experiment. Their results, reported in early June, have shown that a class of classical models that advocate realism cannot make sense of the results. Quantum mechanics may be weird, but it’s still, oddly, the simplest explanation around....

This Quantum world can and indeed exist on a larger magnitude than the microscopic scale. In such an event, Quantum phenomenon influence reality where the observer becomes both the central experimenter and experiment. This is where everything is non-random and the observer may see books on bookshelves in the library that reflect what is pertinent to the events in current time for example. And if one or two books provide troublesome evil, the observer, if morally righteous, naturally rips up the book. Just saying.
Yet more absolute proof of God.

I notice a pattern in my supernatural posts. I tend to posit explanations that test the readers belief system and if challenged, I retort with a stronger argument to reinforce the initial premise.
