No Peer-Reviewed Evidence Establishes 'Reverse Physics' as Quantum-Classical Bridge

The New Scientist piece aggregates staff recollections rather than reporting new experiments. No journal, sample size, or protocol is referenced for reverse physics, leaving the claim at the level of anecdote. Related work on quantum-to-classical transitions instead centers on decoherence models and measurement theory, with rigorous tests in systems such as superconducting qubits and trapped ions.

Standard approaches quantify the emergence of classical behavior through environmental coupling strength and pointer states, documented in papers from institutions including Caltech and Vienna. Claims that invert this directionality would require demonstrating macroscopic control over quantum amplitudes in a manner that violates current no-go theorems; none has passed peer review.

Future validation would need a pre-registered protocol with blinded analysis, at least 10^3 repeated trials, and independent replication across two labs before any technological or philosophical implications could be assessed.
