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
H|ψ> = E|ψ> 😘
That’s the devils pitch fork right?
It wasn’t this part that tripped you up was it?
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
Too late, I’m in a quantum superposition of alive + dead (inside)
Wake me up inside
Cant wake up
I need a supercritical temperature of 80°C
Bring meee tooo half precissssion…
I’ve been living a lie! I’m only 36°C inside!
Bring me toooooo ----
Evanescence in my Lemmy? Hell yeah!
Quantum physics: because the universe doesn’t give a shit if you understand it.
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”
That’s what I’m on about! The deeper you look, the more it’s like “Matter just does stuff, okay?!”
Well, looks like it does exist indeed. You never know for sure in that field.
A large body of experimental evidence for QCD has been gathered over the years.
OP is aware that it does exist. In quantum physics, a lot of the questions of “why does it exist” are difficult to overcome. The answer simply is “it just does.”
We can prove the math, we see the experimental evidence. The math comes long before the experiments. The problem is that “why” doesn’t work at this scale.
For a frictionless spherical cow in a vacuum, if you apply a force vector to it, it will accelerate in that direction, until you stop applying the force; at which point it will continue on that vector at the last velocity it reached. “Why” this occurs is do to energy, and energy conservation.
“Why do massless fermions spontaneously break chiral symmetry?” We can prove it through the math, we can experimentally observe it. But “why” doesn’t have a real answer. The answer is “it just does.”

I’m a fan of it too. Actually I think my dad did a bunch of stuff when he was in grad school on holography.
OP is aware that it does exist.
Yeah, but I wasn’t.
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.
The more you understand, the less it makes sense.
I’m experiencing a great deal of uncertainty.
Be aware! There can be spooky action at a distance! 👻😱🫨👀
“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.”
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…
Well none, it clearly says to call your physicist ;)
flashbacks of what the bleep
at least it’s not about quantum inertia … right?
