"Reality Remains Intact by Sean Carroll
Stay calm, objective reality remains,
I can't see why that's so important.
The apparently objective world in which I exist, if I do, is as it is, whether or not there is objective reality at the
smallest levels.
More a philosophical problem that a science problem, no?
Reminds me of Robert Laughlin's position that quantum mechanics won't sum up to larger size, and the behavior of matter
above the level of a few (hundred? thousand?) atoms is emergent behavior.
