Quantum mechanics makes me think we live in a computer simulation and at the lowest level (where the most calculations are needed), the world is implemented using a lazy-evaluation scheme to minimize processor usage.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoquantum mechanics makes me think that the real reality behind everything is actually a smudge of statistical probabilities. our monkey brains have trouble with the implications this because there aren't any analogies we can use to make sense of it. Think about it, we have extreme trouble with any math that describes a reality that can't at least be approximated to the scale and zeitgeist of our own. An alternate life form that lived at a different scale or with different priors (perception of time, causality) would come up with completely different explanations for why the math should be the way it is.
