The recently awarded 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics has been accompanied by much chatter in popular science columns about how the work of the three awarded scientists has proven that there is no such thing as ‘objective reality’, and the world is not real.

De nombreux Allemands font des réserves de bois pour se chauffer, car ils estiment que les réserves de gaz seront totalement ou presque épuisées d’ici début 2023. Telles sont les sombres perspectives qui s’offrent à la classe ouvrière du moteur économique de l’Europe.
