Quantum Mechanics

I don’t think quantum mechanics is capable of being understood, not because it isn’t true, but because the human mind didn’t evolve in such a way to deal with things that fail to conform to our intuition of time and space.

Now, certain aspects of the subject are comprehensible.  When I explain the Heisenberg Uncertainly Principle and say that it’s not possible to know a particle’s exact momentum and position at the same time, and I say that the act of observing the particle and measuring its momentum changes its position and vice versa, you might say, “Well, that makes sense.”

The problem is that the s*** hits the fan from there on out.

My advice: unless you’re exceptional, stay far away from this stuff.  I took one semester, got a C+, and thanked the Lord that there was no reason to in any deeper.
