I am not a graduate student but I enjoyed reading this and learnt a few things too. And wow. You must’ve put a lot of work into this. Thank you!

Great list-and nice to see some theoretical content. I wonder how our grad students would measure up to this list? Still ,I am surprised not to see the Boltzmann Equation and H-Theorem,

scaling and renormalization group -especially in context of phase transitions,Quantum Hall effect and superconductivity,turbulence etc . One could imagine a complementary list of important theories of emergent phenomena.

Bell's Inequality assumes that, for a locally real particle, a measurement of "up" (for example) means the state of the particle is (and always was) 100% up. It makes no such assumption for the non-locally real particle. It is comparing a triangle wave against a sine wave, and exclaiming that they aren't the same.

The math is good. The assumptions are not. It is a straw man argument.
