One of the aspies here (the most insane one) got thrown out of Mexico for not having a Visa, after some lady she was doing rudimentary website work for turned her in for making threats towards her.

Again, no interpretation eliminates quantum indeterminacy. It can only present a story of the underlying mechanics. The weirdness cannot be eliminated.
I don't know what's so weird about flux. Flux produces energy, which is the business of physics, but it is never in a vacuum.
Experiments in contextual vacuums will always yield nonsense.
I think the interconnectedness and reciprocity of quantum is more interesting and valuable.

If the cat is dead, it will decompose and give off the unmistakable dead cat odor.
So, if the cat is neither dead nor alive, it is not dead, and it won't give off that odor. This means you can test Schrodinger's hypothesis by trapping a cat in a box for a few weeks. If it gives off an odor, Schrodinger's paradox was straight-out WRONG!
We live in a computer simulation in which the digital locations of particles are calculated using the analog curves of mathematical functions. This understanding reconciles the two paradoxical aspects.

Isn't dark matter a quantum phenon? I wonder if our scientists, by observing dark matter, are hastening the heat death of the universe?
You might have something there. The universe is a simulation, in our minds, tho. Our minds are trying to make discrete, digital like, interpretations of the underlying mathematical equations.

Correct. The electron is an ele ctron. It is not a point mass ("particle") and it is not a spread out mass("wave"). It is an object that interacts in a certain way predicted by the QM equation, is all.
It doesn't matter what you call it. The paradox is that this "object" appears not to have determinant properties until there is an attempt to "measure" those properties.

As this thread proves, Schrodinger's Cat is of limited use trying to impart quantum theory to the great unwashed. Far easier just to explain the double slit experiment.
The core mystery of quantum entanglement is best communicated by explaining Bell's Theorem, and going over the experiments demonstrating that the inequalities do indeed hold.

It seems that this disproves the existence of God, since if God was observing the universe all quantum states would have already collapsed.
