Since the human species will almost certainly be extinct, eons before the sun's red-giant phase, I don't worry too much about it anymore. I am presently more concerned by that fact that the sub-species of humans, known as "theoretical physicists", appears to have already become extinct; their former ecological niche has now been taken over by mathematicians, more interested in proving theorems, than in seriously examining the supposed relevance of those theorems to anything existing in the real, physical world, outside of idealistic thought-experiments.
The quintessential example of this, is their belief that quantum "particles" must be identical/indistinguishable. The mathematicians themselves, have no idea how to manufacture/produce such idealistic entities, yet they persist in their belief that "Mother Nature" does, and consequently, that the physical world must be constructed entirely, out of such idealistic entities.
But as I demonstrated years ago, by following Shannon's "recipe" for constructing non-identical "particles", that just happen to manifest only one, single bit of his "Information", it is easy to produce classical objects that behave exactly like quantum objects, in "Bell tests", in spite of all the supposed "theorems" that purport to prove that to be impossible. But 75 years ago, Shannon proved that one sequence of random noise can easily be distinguished from another, even when that other happens to be submerged beneath an entire ocean of other noise; just use that one sequence as a "matched filter", to detect the other. In other words, a quantum particle just uses itself as the "matched filter."
It is also easy to demonstrate, that Shannon's "recipe" for a single bit of "information", corresponds precisely, to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
A "quantum" is nothing more than the physical manifestation of a single bit of Shannon's "Information."
