That feel when I'm immortal.

quantum mechanics make my head spin. Does anyone actually understand any of this?

It's basically magic
We discovered that anything can happen for any reason

Explain it in laymans terms then!

>>3022437
You can't.

The act of explaining it causes its definition to change.

Holy fuck. I thought of quantum immortality as a refutation of Everett Many Worlds interpretation after watching a documentary on Everett about three years ago.

I just said that nobody understands it, but basically at the quantum level shit does whatever the hell it wants because fuck your rules.

I think it was Richard Feynman that something along the lines of "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics."
So don't feel bad if you don't understand it. You're not supposed to.

>>3022451
I don't even understand that.

are there classes I can take to pretend to understand thing like quantum mechanics?

>> No.3022611

>>3022546
Any sort of modern physics classes would discuss it.

the pretending? do they have a section on making up words?
