There&#x27;s so much misinformation in the article. The two major errors are:<p>&gt; <i>quantum systems don’t seem to be definite objects localized in space until we come along to observe them</i><p>No, that&#x27;s not how it works. When physicists say &quot;observation&quot; in quantum mechanics, they really mean &quot;any interaction, including molecular, photon, electron, etc&quot;.<p>&gt; <i>or when we find ourselves fooled by a perceptual illusion—we realize with a jolt that what we perceive is never the world directly, but rather our brain’s best guess at what that world is like, a kind of internal simulation of an external reality</i><p>Again, no. We built tons of devices that are independent of our senses. If they return consistent results, it means that&#x27;s what reality is. And it doesn&#x27;t matter if it&#x27;s simulated or not, we have to deal with it, and we call it &quot;reality&quot;.
