#2Science and Nature are prestigious molecular biology journals but when it comes to physics they are like The National Inquirer. That is, anything they publish in physics has to be outrageous.

#5In case anyone is missing the reference the title is based on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champagne_for_my_real_friends,...
Also, here is a great takedown by Scott Aaronson: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=6871

Finally someone else says this in public.
Thank you!

#7Event horizon is an imaginary surface. As you come closer, it becomes further from you. How can an imaginary surface be holographic or not?

#8While I understand that this may be referencing a few different sources, I choose to read the title as a Fallout Boy reference and this makes me happy.

#9I'd read a lot of coverage of this fiasco already, but this post was helpful for clarifying the duality aspect and the philosophical issues around what's real vs what's a simulation.
I disagree a bit on tone though: though it's okay to be excited about this topic, surely something has gone wrong if the audience comes away thinking that this experiment is comparable to the discovery of the Higgs boson.

It's not just physics either.
