Does Superdeterminism save Quantum Mechanics? Or does it kill free will and destroy science?

Does Superdeterminism save Quantum Mechanics? Or does it kill free will and destroy science?

Sabine Hossenfelder

The process by which a quantum system's wave function, representing probabilities, instantaneously reduces to a single definite state upon measurement. The speaker argues this might be unnecessary if superdeterminism is true.
