Physicists love hyping up "mind-blowing" quantum discoveries like they prove how dumb we are. Lawrence Krauss once claimed an electron can be in two places at once and that people reject it because their brains can't handle it. That’s bullshit. If something's here and something's there, they’re two different things. Period.

Maybe physicists just decided to call the electron in two places the same electron because, for their purposes, it works. Like if 20 students have identical textbooks, you could technically say "the textbook" is in 20 places at once—but that’s just wordplay, not some deep truth. I suspect this "electron in two places" nonsense is the same kind of linguistic trick.

Can anyone actually explain how an object can be in two places at once without playing word games?
