4.    In 2022 the physics researchers: Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger (appropriately from the University of Vienna), shared the Nobel Peace Prize for demonstrating (to the nth degree) that the quantum universe is probabilistic and mysterious, rather than Platonically real and known.

 

These demonstrations that the quantum states of the universe are probable, rather than known, also applies at a larger scale to modern A.I. Generative A.I. reduces words and documents to vectors which are then selected probabilistically, according to context. The research that led to Google then also becomes clear.
