Daniel Wigton on Nostr: The nice thing about quantum mechanics is that most of us don't understand it well ...
The nice thing about quantum mechanics is that most of us don't understand it well enough to prevent us from using it as a clever analogy for other phenomena that we also don't understand.
For instance, while writing the previous post I decided that the female propensity for existing in a superposition of decision states is what allows them to be superior multi-taskers.
The mind-boggling part is how they can maintain the superposition of a world where they completed task A and another where they completed task B even after I collapse the wave function by observing completed task C.
