I don't think it's my opinion that the article is using misleading terms in its headline. It doesn't say "realism" or "locality", it says "real", and this is misleading. Of course it wouldn't get as many views or clicks if it used the more technical terms.
I'm not a physicist but I've read and learned a lot even so and I find the article goes a little too far in the headline.
This word choice here is very ironic gotta say ๐ .
To be clear, I am not questioning the science, the contents of the article is fine. I'm saying the headline is misleading and makes people say stuff like "the universe isn't real" when that doesn't really make sense. Physicists mean something very specific and technical when they say "local realism" and this is lost in that headline.
This is a reminder to be nice on our instance. Telling someone you don't care and that they're wasting time are not productive. Just don't reply if you feel this way.
I really hope this is sarcasm. Otherwise you're promoting willful ignorance.
