A team of physicists in the United Kingdom used some dense mathematics to come to their Einstein-angering conclusion, taking an important step towards proving whether quantum mechanics\u2019 weirdness is just the math talking, or whether it speaks to innate physical requirements. Their mathematical proof\u2019s main assumption is that any new physics theory should be backward-compatible with the physics you learned in high school.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/scientists-finally-prove-strange-quantum-physics-idea-e-1798433666\">https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/scientists-finally-prove-strange-quantum...1798433666<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The equations of physics are things that we humans created to understand the Universe, and it can be hard to disentangle them from the Universe\u2019s innate properties.
