Rejected, citing that 'the hidden variables are not of scientific interest'

Bryan O'Sullivan has written a new article 1) on his vision on todays quantum mechanics, and added a popularized movie to summarize his view.

The movie is fun to see, and in combination with the text it is hard to understand that the majority of physicist are still in favor of the Copenhagen or similar interpretation of QM.
Especially the film exposes the strange way of arguing of the founder of this QM interpretation, Niels Bohr, in comparison with the usual scientific method.

Unfortunately Bryan's scientific version of his argument (“The Hopf-Fibration and Hidden Variable in Quantum and Classical Mechanics” 2) has been repeatedly rejected for review, using the argument from this blog title.

  1. Physics journals *always* use completely illogical excuses to reject papers on the foundations of quantum physics which are outside of the present conventional mainstream "view" (if you can call it such).

  2. by the way, see https://rsj-prod.literatumonline.com/doi/10.1098/rsos.180526#comment-4338918351
