Figure out how to make quantum mechanics make sense to people. That’s my challenge for physicists. Find an interpretation that’s intuitive or comprehensible or something.
- alisonkisk 6y agoThe "interpretation" is what makes it hard to understand. If you just study the rules it is less confusing. (But still hard, because it is legitimately complicated and different from our instictive human-scale senses, like relativity.)
- Koshkin 6y agoI am afraid that may be impossible, and the infamous “shut up and calculate” may be all we will ever have as a guiding principle. Things “make sense” to us only because they are either hardwired in our brain in the course of human evolution, or if we are used to them since the early childhood, or they can be explained in terms of those. Quantum mechanics affords none of such.
