So, if you simulate a chemical reaction on a quantum computer, you're actually building the same wavefunction as would occur in reality and letting quantum mechanics "evaluate" it (thus giving you an actual physical result, barring all the imperfections of current quantum computers).
I'm trying to recall another far less outlandish result (than wormholes) that was also verified via quantum computer, but no dice at the moment.
Edit: I might've been thinking of the simulation of a discrete time crystal on Google's quantum computer: https://physics.aps.org/articles/v14/131
'The researchers stress that this DTC behavior can also, in principle, be simulated on a classical computer. But in that case, “the bits in the computer evolve in a way that looks nothing like the physics we're interested in but nevertheless output numbers that replicate the outcomes of a hypothetical experiment,” Ippoliti says. In contrast, on a quantum computer, the qubits themselves exhibit the DTC behavior.'
Not qualified to comment, but iirc the explanation I heard here on hn was that their method was they emulated a "dual" of a wormhole in the quantum computer and then sort of did a leap of faith using some maths/physics arguments and said because it's a quantum computer and quantum magic yadda yadda the actual wormhole was therefore created. Other scientists in the field were nowhere near as convinced by this[3].

Do time crystals demonstrate macrostate retrocausality? There are time crystal in childrens' chemistry sets and they've been there for years.
In this video [1], Physics Girl creates two vortices in a pool with plates and dyes the fluid flow between them with food coloring.
How is this matter information flow between low pressure centers of local fluid vortices different from wormholes and ER=EPR particle state linkage? Is this effect of linkage between vortices the same thing as ER=EPR wormholes?
Similarities: Low pressure in the center of a vortex; fluid vortical dynamics, State linkage across spacetime, Refractory occlusion, Glowing edge at the boundary of the system
FWIU, there are various types of quantum entropy; entanglement and non-entanglement entropy. Quantum discord [2]:
> In quantum information theory, quantum discord is a measure of nonclassical correlations between two subsystems of a quantum system. It includes correlations that are due to quantum physical effects but do not necessarily involve quantum entanglement.
With wormholes, doesn't the degree of complexity of the universe increase significantly; when any particle state in a system with fluidic dynamics can be linked to any other particle state in spacetime, what is the degree of the Hilbert space?
Can there be ER=EPR wormholes between here and the other side of the apparently expanding universe, and is c the speed of light the limit?
Is the universe expanding faster than c; is |v1|+|v2| > c anywhere? From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39718864 regarding Hubble's expansion constant and `(v_other_direction + c) > c` :
> If virtual particle states are entangled with particle states in black holes or through ER=EPR bridges, is there effectively FTL?
> There is FTL within dielectric antennae.
Are there paths between points in spacetime which are faster than the path that a photon would take given gravity and solar wind?

Also, this video depicts how much dye exchanges through the "sidewall" of a fluid vortex. Is the dye that exchanges with the system outside the vortex similar to Hawking Entropy that escapes a gravitational fluid phenomena like a black hole, or a different phenomena?

There is also another Quran Chapter 17 or surah Al-Isra' where Muhammad performed Isra' from Mecca to Baitul Maqdis in Jerusalem and then from there performed the ascension to heaven or Mi'raj, or more popular known as Isra' Mi'raj event that is believed to use this special facility of Maarij for the ascension to heaven. This event is considered holidays in most Muslim countries where solat or pray (second pillar of Islam) was first officially prescribed [3].

I'm pretty sure the Hindu's had similar views on the universe and matter (even Buddhism too), and yet, without proofs, any belief system it's invalid
Actually Galen got so many things wrong and he was corrected by medieval Muslim scholars and later by modern scholars, eventhough during his time and hundred years after that he was considered infallible. For example his flawed concept of blood circulation was corrected by Ibnu Nafis, several hundreds years before Harvey [1],[2].

It seems that the claim of Quran plagiarism of Greek embroyology has been debunked and refuted by these articles [1],[2],[3]. For a start Muhammad himself is a well known illiterate or ummi in Arabic. Even if he could read and write, he could not have acquired knowledge of Greek or Hellenic embryology via written works since the first major translations of Greek embryology into Arabic began at least 150 years after the death of Muhammad. The irony is that, after the translation efforts (due to generosity of the Caliphs including Al-Ma'mun who famously pay in weight of gold the equivalent of the weight of every translations into Arabic) there are now more Galen works in Arabic than in Greek!
Al-Mamun also famously accepted a peace treaty from Roman Byzantine Empire in the form of original copy of Ptolemy's Almagest [4]. He could easily wallop the Byzantine Empire if he wished since he is the one who fully conquered Afghanistan, not an easy feat even by today standard where the mightiest of Empires including British, Russian and US government has recently failed.

[4] al-Ma'mun:
Is it more likely that the almighty creator of the universe talked to an uneducated loser in the desert and just happened to make the exact same mistakes that Galen made, or, alternatively, that the so called prophet obtained the information from somebody who had come across a talkative Greek?
If you read the articles, the are many differences between Galen own description and description inside the Quran. Furthemore, Galen written sources are not available during the time of Quran revealation and all the translations to Arabic was performed hundreds years after Quran was revealed mostly perhaps during Al-Ma'mun time.
As I asserted before Galen had many things wrong in his works and books, they had to be corrected by medieval Muslim scholars and modern scholars. If you copied or performed plagiarism ignorantly, naturally you will copy the exact same mistakes but this is not the case for Quran. And it also the miracle of the Quran that it was revealed to an illiterate person (not uneducated because at the time most learning done via oral tradition) so that people like you cannot say he was copying from the Greek, the Hindu, etc. And mind you Muhammad is not a loser since he was a respected and wealthy traders in Mecca, from the ruling family of Quraish. Naturally it is much easier to accuse someone of plagiarism if he can read or write, but it is much harder to do the same if someone is illiterate because you have to proof another knowledgeable human as the source or narrator to be complicit, and they have to be existed in the same time frame and meet somewhere, somehow.
There's no issue with the Quran version of the embryology, the only issue is with Galen's version, and among others Galen also messed up the blood circulation descriptions as been corrected by Al Nafis and later Harvey.
If by your claim that the Quran copied Galen then both of them should be wrong, which is not the case because both of them have different versions, and it is proven that Galen version is wrong but not Quran.
This also supported by the fact that Galen's books are not available in Arabic during Muhammad time and translation occurred hundred of years after that. Miraclely (if there is a word for that), Quran already anticipated people like you and refuted the claim inside the Quran itself. In the Quran it's mentioned that the non believers (in Arabic Kafir, literally denial of the truth) at the time accused Muhammad consulted the non Arab (foreigner) because the level of the sophistication of the Quran description of the universe, star, embryology, geology, etc are not known amongst the Arab society at the time (actually the knowledge are not available anywhere since it is considered novel like the wormhole or Al-Ma'arij concept as posted by OP) [1],[2]. The accused and suspected foreigner's mother tongue apparently is not Arabic and not expert in Arabic, but Quran Arabic language is so eloquent, exquisite and par excellent, even now after about 1500 years it is still considered the corpus and golden reference of Arabic language. Quran even challenges people like you to produce a Chapter or surah (not even a book) that is comparable to Quran however until now there challenges have not been answered, and it never will. If that is not the greatest miracle, I am not sure what is?
[1] https://quran.com/an-nahl/103
And We surely know that they say, “No one is teaching him except a human.” But the man they refer to speaks a foreign tongue, whereas this Quran is in eloquent Arabic.
[2] https://quran.com/an-nahl/104
Surely those who do not believe in Allah’s revelations will never be guided by Allah, and they will suffer a painful punishment.
Sounds like your head is so far up your ass that there's not much left for us to discuss :)
PS: I am talking from a religious point of view, I am not not interested in a discussion about religion, god and potential clash with science.
The fact that the wormhole concept that is not yet experimentally proven, discovered or observed by scientists until today, and it was mentioned and described about 1500 years ago when there is no telescope. The concept is not only mentioned but become one of the Chapters (surah) of the Quran, in the early days of Islam when the believers are mostly confined in Mecca before the migration to Medina.
Imagine something much less spectacular than wormhole like Real Madrid football club. If Jesus somehow has mentioned Real Madrid in the red letters portion of the Bible, heck put it as one of Chapter names in the New Testament and predicted the it will be one of the most celebrated football clubs in European football then it will be a miracle more than walking on water or giving life to the dead, because the later Christians in the future can testify and attested to that rather than have to blindly believed the anecdotal narratives that were written more than 2000 years ago (and recorded as a complete book many many years after the event happened). By the way, Jesus miracle of living life back to the dead is also clearly mentioned in the Quran and his mother Maryam, a Jewish woman, was mentioned and glorified as the best of women in the world, and Maryam is one the Chapter or surah names inside the Quran unlike the Bible [1].
