This is an example of trash glossy science media garbage articles and someone actually correcting it.

The article appeared several places

Sabine Hossenfelder who has at times struggled with the basics to me actually managed to work it out and correctly identify the paper is complete garbage. She even correctly identifies one of the two main obvious problems with this paper, for a challenge see if you can identify the obvious second one. I can't wait for someone like Lubos response if he spots this

Someone could have pointed out that this trash is almost instantly falsified by the first macro entanglement ever created way back in 2010 and we have done thousands of macro entanglements since

These experiments are done here on earth and apparently gravity alone is supposed to wipe out the entanglement by time dilation ... so one may ask why isn't it then? That was the shock to many when these experiments results were first published.

So I guess my view is the same as Sabine Hossenfelder that this is a 2 year old trash paper that you really wonder how it ever got a writeup in any good science magazine. At a very minimum they needed to deal with the obvious falisification with experimental results.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
