Quantum Physics Just Told You to Stop Talking

Quantum contextuality is either your new favorite topic or your worst nightmare, depending on how attached you are to the idea of a single, objective world. We journeyed through Chris Ferrie’s article on Medium, traced the footsteps of Bell, Kochen, and Specker, and watched Einstein’s hidden-variable dream crumble under the hammer of quantum weirdness. With references to bagels and Greek yoghurt, we discovered that context is the one concept that might connect your breakfast to the experimental results in a quantum lab. If that shakes your faith in a fixed reality, then mission accomplished.
