I can't help but feel that it is very likely our ancestors (if we make it long enough) will look back on the limited understanding we have at this point in time regarding spooky action at a distance, the theory of everything, general relativity meets quantum mechanics, etc. and be astounded for a number of reasons. The biggest reasons being 1) that everyone could be missing something so obvious while at the same time 2) going down such wrong but entertaining rabbit holes.
- epigramx 9y agoThere is nothing obvious about quantum mechanics; those that say that they fully understand it intuitively probably are the first that don't understand it. The main answers we have about it are the results of math, not the results of something obvious intuitively so there is a very low chance we'll get answers intuitively when nothing we have so far came from that route. tl;dr: we are too bozos for Quantum Mechanics.
- jerrre 9y agoI think the post you replied to implies there must be a much simpler explanation for this stuff.
- jobigoud 9y agoYou mean descendants, not ancestors.
