    As someone who did 3 years of a physics degree and then ended up crashing and burning at the basic quantum stuff until I ultimately quit, I sympathize with this wholeheartedly. Like its fascinating and all, and its great that some people are able to get it, but like, if I have to deal with a Schrödinger equation again I think I might scream.

      I just enjoyed how new freaky symbols being used for operators started popping up out of nowhere.

      I love learning about quantum physics from YouTube, but my impression is a lot of it ends up being “particals are just silly little guys at the quantum level” or “we have two models: one for normal big physics and one for batshit crazytown tiny physics”.

        A fractal meta uncertainty principle would help explain why “chromodynamics” is allowed to exist.

          Well, looks like it does exist indeed. You never know for sure in that field.

          A large body of experimental evidence for QCD has been gathered over the years.

            OP is aware that it does exist. In quantum physics, a lot of the questions of “why does it exist” are difficult to overcome. The answer simply is “it just does.”

            We can prove the math, we see the experimental evidence. The math comes long before the experiments. The problem is that “why” doesn’t work at this scale.

            For a frictionless spherical cow in a vacuum, if you apply a force vector to it, it will accelerate in that direction, until you stop applying the force; at which point it will continue on that vector at the last velocity it reached. “Why” this occurs is do to energy, and energy conservation.

            “Why do massless fermions spontaneously break chiral symmetry?” We can prove it through the math, we can experimentally observe it. But “why” doesn’t have a real answer. The answer is “it just does.”

                I’m a fan of it too. Actually I think my dad did a bunch of stuff when he was in grad school on holography.

        the more and less you understand about the universe, the more and less it does and does not give a shit and makes more and less sense.
