Just a thought before christmas:

My understanding of quantum mechanics is the following:

The uncertainty principle says that it is impossible to measure position and velocity exactly. Further developement of wave/particle duality indicates that for small particles (like electrons), exact position and velocity DOES NOT EXIST.

The following are my comments, while the above are probably facts.

It is almost as if a human can not measure and observe exact position and velocity, therefore the concept of exact position and velocity does not exist. Was this universe built for us ?

It may have been created just to amuse us. Or so we might amuse the Creator as we try to figure out the puzzle.
