I'm convinced this is magic.
I agree, I'm still amazed that this shit works as well as it does.
It's only weird once electrons get involved.
things get weirder when your get rid of those electron bois
Add quantum science to the list.
I've watched some yt videos about quantum mechanics. I am FAR too dumb to understand even a few words of what they were talking about lol
Quantum mechanics are the dreams that stuff is made of.
That's Gold, Jerry!
Tat's the neat part about it. Scientists dont understand it either.
How computers work is also some form of witchcraft. Even tho I understand the principles behind it, it still is literally magic that we get computers to execute stuff.
Computers run on magical smoke.
Proof: When the smoke comes out, the computer doesn't work anymore.
That's how basically all electronics work
Computers are easy, they just do math really really fast. The weird part is how useful math is.
Ah well except it's really rocks being excited enough to do math.
