whoa, what are we unfolding here?
And are we sure we want to unfold this, uncover this?
And once Sir Arthur Eddington said this wonderful thing.
He was asked about these sort of central mysteries of quantum physics and the universe, and he said...
something that we don't know is doing we know not what.
So it's like, yeah, there's some humility right there, right?
And at its core, quantum physics, there's a mystery
at the core of quantum physics, equivalent to the mystery at the core of religion.
At the end of the day, religion is an act of faith, right?
And you can't answer these questions, right, rationally.
And at the end of the day, the physicists themselves will say, look, we just don't know.
These test results make no sense in the macroscopic, rational world that we live in every day.
The macroscopic and the subatomic world, they're completely opposite to each other.
The laws of physics are completely different at the macroscopic level and the subatomic level.
Yeah, structurally, like at their core, they're all incredibly similar.
And there's the realm of the dead, right?
