“New evidence that the quantum world is even stranger than we thought”

Maybe, but was it really strange before we thought about it?

The quantum world probably just behaves strange when we are looking.

I believe in Occam’s Razor—God done it. Simple, beautiful, and elegant.

All I had for instruction as a child were cartoons.

We lived miles from a school and the grizzly bears were thicker than fleas on a grizzly bear.

In the winter, the snow would get like two hundred feet deep.

In the summer, the snow was only one hundred feet deep.

In the spring, well, the snow turned into one hundred fifty feet of mud.

In the fall, it was cold, but it was a dry cold, so we only had tornadoes.

But, thankfully, I had cartoons.

The fact that we’re usually NOT looking very attentively is probably what makes it all MOST strange.

I don’t think that means that God doesn’t want us to try and figure it out intellectually.

Why would He put us here in the midst of all of these fascinating mysteries, creating us with such inquiring Minds, and not expect us to do what Minds are gonna do?

Anyons appear to me to be “hive-mind” neurons that remember their prior interactions.

Are the interferometers the source of the interference?

If we could have one in the US, where would we build it?

It’s category theory but this braiding and quantum memory of what other subatomic particle they’ve had relations with wild

Al Gore once complained to the Washington Post that the newspaper had published a satellite photo of Earth that was ‘upside down’.

???

(Maybe he had just come from a massage, and wasn’t yet thinking straight...)

Articles about the quantum world are definitely getting stranger.

And the less we know, the smarter we think we are - at least that’s how it works in the Dem world....since we’re talking about “strange”...
