Too bad there are no quantum computers. Who knew Hesse's "Glass Bead Game" would be the most important book I read in physics grad school?

- p1esk 8y agoI read Hesse in high school, liked Steppenwolf, but found Glass Bead Game quite boring (probably didn't get it, don't remember much about it). Why is it important to you?
- scottlocklin 8y agoBecause physics has turned into an impotent glass bead game, devoid of experimental result or insight. "quantum information theory" being the latest steaming pile of garbage to replace noodle theory as the favored ego boosting nonsense to appeal to theoretical game players who don't understand how matter works.
