(40,416 posts)I'm having difficulty following your train of thought. However, in spite of your ad hominem attack, which I shall ignore, I will attempt to persevere.
First, even in the early 20th century there were no indications that QM had anything but bottom-up causality, in spite of many people's claims. QM has advanced significantly since Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Dirac, Feynman, and even Wilczek.
The proof to any claim in science is not the authority of the scientist but the authority of nature herself. Anybody claiming that quantum causality can go from top (macro) to bottom (micro, ie, Planck limit) has a tall order to fill.
First, there is zero evidence that has stood up to peer review. Second, this is in spite of the fact that there are still physicists who adhere to these opinions.
I shouldn't have to repeat this but the arbitrator of truth in science is not any scientist (certainly not me) but nature herself.
I do read physics, and I firmly think that QM says that causality goes from bottom to top; the behavior of the whole universe is emergent behavior. In spite of that opinion, there is zero evidence that anything in the macro universe can have any effect on things at or below the Planck limit. If there is any substantive evidence to the contrary I would like to hear about it because that would be very interesting.
Unfortunately, that hasn't yet happened. If you have evidence to the contrary there may be a Nobel Prize in your future.
