So just know the wisest minds alive don't know shit.

And it frustrates them enough to keep getting out of bed every morning just to figure it out.

Right.

So what he's saying is that the universe kind of like a huge restaurant tab at a friend's birthday dinner where no one has accounted for tax or tip.

Are there three beverages?

Things just don't add up and everyone is testy about it.

fucking ridiculous well what are where are these logic gaps like i know that it's so bizarre and at least if you could understand the bizarreness but what is it that's so contradictory like what do we think what don't we get yeah so so there's this there's this thing in quantum physics this sort of fundamental role that the idea of measurement

Okay, quick aside, Newtonian physics is also called classical mechanics, and it deals with objects that aren't at a tiny, tiny scale and how they move and rest and such.

So apples falling on our heads, tossing your socks in the hamper from across the room, the inertia that causes you to spill hot tea on your crotch in the car.

All of those things exist in space and behave in predictable ways.

all the way into an atom or the elements that make up an atom, instead of having three dimensions, x, y, z, we have an infinity of numbers to describe its location.

And those infinity of numbers make up a wave.

Got it?

Look, we understand.

Everything makes sense.

We're pretty much quantum physicists now, all of us.

Just kidding, but we can still celebrate it.

Okay, it's actually named for German mathematician and physicist Max Born, who helped develop quantum mechanics and was nominated for a Nobel Prize by Einstein himself.

But most importantly, Max Born is the grandpa of Greece's Olivia Newton-John.

When I read that, I had chills, like multiplying.
