When it comes to using a regular computer to mimic (read: fake) the execution of an exotic program/API for nonexistnet future hardware, I highly recommend the humorously titled talk: "Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming In Multiple Topologically Connected Quantum-Relativistic Parallel Timespaces... Made Easy!" [0][1]

#3>In holographic theories, physicists may have traced the pliability of space-time to its quantum roots
...ah yes holography again. Not to say that all these insights from it are completely worthless, but unless we actually find a holographic dual of our universe instead of AdS spaces (which are the opposite of our universe if anything), this whole field is starting to feel more like a jobs program for mathematicians out of new ideas.

Your worries are a bit late, there's already a huge amount of new age conspiracy bull about quantum healing with wave function collapse, microtubule alignment and biophotons - quality all-you-can-eat word salad buffet.

#5I gotta say every aspect of this headline reads like bullshit. Unfortunately

#6Charm, quark, colors, time crystals, holographs.. And now, magic. Don't worry Einstein, no spooky action at a distance here, it's just magical.

At some point these physicists crossed over into a very specialized form of poetry, a game of language.

Don't forget snap, crackle and pop, and quantum teleportation.
Physicists get a failing grade for naming things.

I can sort of appreciate these shenanigans as short-lived common room humor, but I find it obnoxious to put it in the official terminology.
It's bad enough all the corporations trying to steal perfectly active words for their brand names or products.

Ghosts are also a thing in quantum field theory

#10In absolute, those are irrevocably pliable scientific facts.
