Reality is subjective to those who deny facts. Don’t worry, kid, you’re in the right universe; it’s the OTHERS who are in the wrong one (and need the white coated men with the big nets to get them)
One of the more unsettling discoveries in the past half a century is that the universe is not locally real. In this context, “real” means that objects have definite properties independent of observation—an apple can be red even when no one is looking.
“Local” means that objects can be influenced only by their surroundings and that any influence cannot travel faster than light. Investigations at the frontiers of quantum physics have found that these things cannot both be true.
Instead the evidence shows that objects are not influenced solely by their surroundings, and they may also lack definite properties prior to measurement.

Today quantum information science is among the most vibrant subfields in all of physics. It links Einstein’s general theory of relativity with quantum mechanics via the still mysterious behavior of black holes. It dictates the design and function of quantum sensors, which are increasingly being used to study everything from earthquakes to dark matter.
And it clarifies the often confusing nature of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon that is pivotal to modern materials science and that lies at the heart of quantum computing.
“What even makes a quantum computer ‘quantum?’” Nicole Yunger Halpern, a National Institute of Standards and Technology physicist, asks rhetorically. “One of the most popular answers is entanglement, and the main reason we understand entanglement is the grand work participated in by Bell and these Nobel Prize winners.
Without that understanding of entanglement, we probably wouldn’t be able to realize quantum computers.”

The Universe Is Not Locally Real, and the Physics Nobel Prize Winners Proved It
Well, there is a fixed point; there is Truth. But acknowledging it, nvm adhering to it cramps peoples’ style. can’t have that, so make one up that better suits what they want to do…
As long as equal time rules remain repealed, cable propaganda will be free to offer an ala carte medley of mix and match snippets of spin to allow those clinging to fantasy to maintain their illusions. Winning a debate, however, will not repeal any facts.
Belief is when you have faith in something that cannot be proven. Like Santa Claus, religion, or the basic goodness of mankind. If you need proof or evidence to prop up your belief you do not have faith.
Facts are facts, regardless of your faith or belief. Your belief, no matter how hard you try, cannot change the facts or reality. No amount of wishful thinking or “belief” will change the facts.
Facts don’t change. If your beliefs don’t reconcile with the facts something needs to change and that change needs to come from YOU.

Conservatives prefer a black and white world, it lends clarity. (Please do not confuse “conservative” with the “right”, GOP, or MAGA.)

Facts are especially wrongly fluid for Stanti and the right-wing populists. They are evolving for the rest of us.
