As someone who did 3 years of a physics degree and then ended up crashing and burning at the basic quantum stuff until I ultimately quit, I sympathize with this wholeheartedly. Like its fascinating and all, and its great that some people are able to get it, but like, if I have to deal with a Schrödinger equation again I think I might scream.

I just enjoyed how new freaky symbols being used for operators started popping up out of nowhere.

Because without them you run out of paper too fast

That's the devils pitch fork right?

I love learning about quantum physics from YouTube, but my impression is a lot of it ends up being "particals are just silly little guys at the quantum level" or "we have two models: one for normal big physics and one for batshit crazytown tiny physics".

In the end I only saw devils marching in with pitchforks

It wasn’t this part that tripped you up was it?

Quantum physics: because the universe doesn't give a shit if you understand it.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

No no no. Quantum Physics: the more you understand about the universe, the less it gives a shit if it makes any sense.

A fractal meta uncertainty principle would help explain why "chromodynamics" is allowed to exist.

Man I only took through QED. QCD is where shit goes from freaky to "what the fuck reality, stop drinking"

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

That's what I'm on about! The deeper you look, the more it's like "Matter just does stuff, okay?!"

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

the more and less you understand about the universe, the more and less it does and does not give a shit and makes more and less sense.

Be aware! There can be spooky action at a distance! 👻😱🫨👀

I’m experiencing a great deal of uncertainty.

"They really ought to keep this filth off public access television."

"Due to the quantum nature of such filth, it is simultaneously shown on TV and not shown on TV."

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I don't care what all the avant-garde, intellectual nambie-pambies say, IT IS FILTH!

I wonder how many physicians are going to get calls from this...

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 3 points 5 months ago

at least it's not about quantum inertia ... right?
