As a physicist who spent large parts of his university years studying quantum mechanics, I actually agree with the magazine’s lambasting of Adam Becker’s book on quantum physics. The Copenhagen interpretation works just fine & the problems Becker seems to find with it do indeed seem to be due to a lack of understanding of the theory.
Since Einstein (who did understand it) was also unhappy about quantum mechanics Becker might be forgiven, but it does weaken his points.
Which are pretty strong to begin with. Giving creationists and climate deniers space in a scientific journal “just becase” is a terrible idea.
