    This one is misplaced. You should put it in the thread "What others learnt from you".

    I didn't ask random Americans because I can't afford to fly there, I merely watched John Oliver report on it.

    Again misplaced. This one should go to "What others learnt from John Oliver" thread.

    Einstein was correct to criticize non-locality and superposition. Quantum entanglement seems like hooey.

    I am ever-more-deeply suspicious of quantum theory, if not the whole edifice of quantum physics as a whole, that such notions retain their dominance.

    As for your link, too many formulas, I can deal with explanations but formulas freak me out, I do not always find the transformation from model to formula easily understandable either, it could be wrong for all I know.
