    David Bohm (who was a Communist in his early years) developed a materialistic quantum theory called the de Broglie-Bohm Mechanics or Pilot Wave Theory. It makes much more sense (and the calculations are the same) than the idealistic Copenhagen interpretation IMO.

      I’m really partial to Max Planck (especially him making the case that virtually nothing can exist in a vacuum and we can see that that is indeed the case with space, for example)

      I mean, he was a fascist, afaik, but eh, I’m going to separate some of his achievements in this case, it’s not like he did something useless like make a short story bemoaning “miscegenation” or whatever (looking at you, H.P. Lovecraft)

      Context: I still remember reading that particular story where everybody just interbreeds or whatever and it literally makes them into apes or whatever and just… laughing at it all after having finished it bwahahahahah

      (especially having grown up as “mixed” individual or whatever we call ourselves)
