Really good and fascinating article. Thanks for posting here.
"Fascinating."
I will be referring to this article for years.
Thank you for finding and posting it.
There are two camps. Those that ignore the weirdness and crunch the numbers.Richard Feynman said that the "number crunchers" definitely do NOT understand it and that "anyone who tells you they understand it is lying."This camp is the camp that understands it and understands what it means and is for.
He said that a degree in physics is like learning a series of recipes in mathematical cookbooks and has absolutely nothing to do with "understanding" quantum mechanics and that understanding is not even one of the goals of such a degree.
I agree. Excellent article. Thanks for posting.
I think you misunderstand Feynman.
My comment I think reflects his views and was largely inspired by reading his memoirs.
That camp understand there is no “understanding it” and that it does not have mystical or metaphysical implications.
I'd never heard of Heath Robinson before, made a fun detour while reading the article.
