No one understands quantum mechanics
You both understand and don't understand quantum mechanics at the same time... It's that simple, that is until such a point at which becomes known as to whether or not you understand or don't understand quantum physics and then some kind of quantum tunnel collapses?
No habla English
Vos me queres decir que entender mecanica cuantica es como entender el final de evangelion?
The waves of this comment collapsed into photons entering my eyes showing me a joke about superposition once I observed it.
You should Hadamard again to reverse the superposition.
¿Que paso?
Whoa. Blakeception
Then why do I have anti- matter in my trunk?
A lot of us understand it as dice rolls based on shit we can't account for, more or less. Be a bit easier when someone finds out vacuum energy causes unstable isotopes to decay but I'm not nearly that smart and I'm also digressing. Kids in 300 years acting like it's common sense lol
Quite a few people understand quantum mechanics, but they can't explain it to you if you don't understand the maths
There's no good way of putting quantum into words, all of the descriptions are wrong in more or less subtle ways
