Forum:The quantum physics debunkers?

'Ello, SP MK.1 here, with another question plaguing me.

We all know of "Quantum Woo", but did you know that there another end of the spectrum?

There is a group of people stating that Quantum Physics is out right wrong. What is the world's thoughts on this?

Personally, while I don't quite understand this Physics of Quantum and the atom/subatomic world (Just know enough Chemistry And Physics to get by in a normal human to human conversation and make some chemical compounds) I do know Einstein, the man who more or less started this idea, tried for the rest of his life to debunk it and failed.

In other words, A creator of an "pseudoscience" wasn't able to debunk his own creation, and this man was one of the smartest on earth for a while. I think that a pretty good argument for Quantum Physics. Your thoughts?

Looking into this, It was a non-decisive title. The man was joking around. Oops. --50.83.254.243 (talk) 20:50, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Just deleted a big reply that was getting away from me. What, specifically, are these people arguing against? I'm far from an expert, but there is clearly a lot of nonsense that's come out of the theory. Mostly due to overstating the role of measurement/consciousness. Measurement requires consciousness; collapsing a quantum state does not, as can be seen by the problems people are having keeping quantum computers stable.
