weirdThis is the hardest concept to understand in physics
Whenever any of this comes up I remember that physics professor’s speech on first day of quantum mechanics that got viral:
“Nobody understand quantum mechanics. The people who came up with it don’t understand it. I will do my best so that by the end of this course you don’t understand it either, and so you can got out to the world and spread our ignorance.”
Or something to that effect.
AeonFelisThe Many Worlds Interpretation must be rejected because it makes sense and we’ve already agreed that Quantum Mechanics is not supposed to make sense.
Well put. I will never understand how Bohr managed to persuade so many scientists to commit themselves to not making sense.
I think the trick was to establish that disagreeing with the Copenhagen Interpretation makes you one of these idiots who can’t comprehend Quantum Mechanics. Idiots like… Albert Einstein? Or… Erwin Schrödinger? You know, real morons.
