When Science Journalism Goes Quantum Bonkers
Welcome to the wild world of clickbait science journalism! These headlines are the equivalent of putting Einstein in a blender with alien conspiracy theories and quantum woo-woo! The top headline claims scientists proved Einstein wrong (spoiler: they didn't). The bottom ones suggest alien tech lurks in our oceans, human eyeballs can somehow "destroy" quantum mechanics, and someone's making "something from nothing" (conservation of energy has left the chat). This is what happens when you let headline writers who failed high school physics explain complex scientific concepts. Next week: "Scientists discover black holes are actually cosmic donuts" and "Gravity might be caused by tiny invisible gnomes pulling things downward!"
