Hey, /sci/ I've got an important question for you. How do I stop my relatives from spreading stupid ass hipster opinions about Quantum Mechanics? I'm finishing high school this year and will get into a STEM program this summer, but it's really grinding my gears that someone with no scientific background get so high on stuff they know nothing about.

It's sad because the Observer Effect and the Uncertainty Principle are really cool and so is the Hard Problem but I can never have a reasonable discussion about them without some crazy vegan homeopathic new age fuckers spouting endless bullshit

Im not op, I forgot to change name in last post.
Sure.
Mainly their opinions are regarding double slit experiment, observator that can influence experiment via subconsciousness and some Schrodinger cat bullshit.
Last time I provided the link to wikipedia where its written that S's cat was a mockery, and I explain what happens at quantum scale step by step. Its beneficial to use Bohmian mechanics to explain QM, it sounds more natural for ppl.
2 of the 3 ppl last time got converted, I treat that as a success. Pic is relevant, one of the oppinions about my post on native movie forums.
