PBS Space Time produces some very good videos on the foundations of quantum mechanics (QM), so let me comment on their video What If Physics IS NOT Describing Reality to provide (crucial) missing information. This comment pertains only to the first 9 min of the video, i.e., it has nothing to do with “entropic uncertainty,” so you don’t have to watch more than that before reading my comment. After reading my comment, hopefully you will appreciate that the physics of the quantum reconstruction program (defined below) is well-grounded in reality.
In 1996, Rovelli challenged physicists [1] to derive the formalism of QM from “physical principles and postulates” like Einstein derived the Lorentz transformations of special relativity (SR) from the relativity principle and light postulate. There were many takers for the challenge, one of which was Zeilinger and his Foundational...
