Opinion

I'm looking at a passage in the current article that says

According to Palmer this could resolve problems posed by the Kochen–Specker theorem, which appears to indicate that physics may have to abandon the idea of any kind of objective reality, and the apparent paradox of action at a distance.

My first thought on looking at this was, the Kochen-Specker theorem doesn't appear to indicate that. A later thought was that action at a distance isn't an apparent paradox. If these are opinions by Palmer, that isn't clear from the way the sentence is constructed, and the location of that sentence in the article might also not be the right place for an extensive description of these opinions by Palmer. (On Wikinews we'd say they need to be attributed.) --Pi zero (talk) 16:36, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
