Bryan Sanctuary's bet

[Richard Gill]

Bryan Sanctuary (emeritus professor of Chemistry at McGill Univeresity, Canada) has bet me 5000 Euro that he'll revolutionise quantum information this year. He plans to destroy all weirdness and spookiness from quantum mechanics, and to restore locality and realism. You can read the precise details of our bet here: https://gill1109.com/2022/01/02/the-big-bell-bet/

Dear Richard,
I can congratulate you in advance on winning this bet. Your opponent
is overconfident, like almost all modern scientists. The self -
confidence of modern scientists has led to much greater losses than
5000 Euro. The false confidence of scientists in understanding quantum
phenomena has led to huge expenses for the creation of a quantum
computer that cannot be real. Quantum mechanics is based on obvious
mistakes made about ninety years ago. I recently realized that the
conventional theory of superconductivity of J. Bardeen, L.N. Cooper,
and J.R. Schrieffer (BCS) is also based on an obvious mistake made
around the same time. The fact that almost no one has noticed these
mistakes for decades indicates a regression in understanding among
modern physicists. The mistake made in 1933 also led to great losses,
as it was made due to blind faith in the impossibility of a perpetuum
mobile, which is much more real than a quantum computer.
No physicist understood during many years that the conventional BCS
theory of superconductivity contradicts the second law of
thermodynamics. I draw reader’s attention on this obvious fact in the
article "The Law of Entropy Increase and the Meissner Effect"
published in Entropy: abstract of this article is available at
https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/24/1/83 PDF Version is available at
https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/24/1/83/pdf . The contradiction with
the second law of thermodynamics does not mean that the conventional
BCS theory of superconductivity is wrong, as most physicists could be
sure, since superconducting phenomena contradict the second law of
thermodynamics.

With best wishes,

Alexey Nikulov
