i feel like my brain is too abstract to accept the idea of something can be at multiple places at once, feels like a chess game, in which every possible move is already known, you only chose one at a time, and thus you decrease the possibilities toward your goal, and there is no go back.
- ozmodiar 7y agoI have trouble with this especially since I’m not sure if the language they’re using is just creating a misunderstanding. My example is quantum entanglement, which judging from a lot of sci-fi, people think means you literally have the same particle in two places, and changing it in one place changes it instantly in the other. Really it just breaks entanglement and you now have two different particles (so you can’t use it for FTL communication, hear that sci-fi authors?). It took me awhile to understand that, and I’m sure I have similar misunderstandings about this.
