I never was much interested in this stuff before, but once I found out from quantum physics a particle could be two places at once that sold me! It's quite fascinating. It's almost as if we truly are living in an illusion.
I have no problem with increasing knowledge of particles, etc. especially if it leads to practical benefits. I do have a problem, however, with the assumption that the underlying particles and energy are somehow more “real” than our common sense experience. For instance, something cannot be both a particle and not a particle ... this violates the law of noncontradiction which is the very basis of our logic ... which is, incidentally the very logic that we use when we analyze something using the scientific method.
