^Ever since I was a kid and interested in all these "what lies
beneath everything" questions, the whole idea of "particles"
seemed strange and absurd. I liked the idea of relativity - that
our perspective interferes with results - or that we, as humans
can't be fully objective as we can't see things from all
perspectives... but not the idea that we "create reality" - as
much fun as that may be. For ourselves, we create reality, sure.
We can create it in others. But I think we INTERFERE with things
that are really tiny when we measure them, making ripples in
tiny tiny ponds because we are BIG and our instruments are BIG
and the earth and sun are BIG and do things that get in the way
of being super precise.
Well, FINALLY, ignored for most of the 20th century, in the 21st
Century, the "it's all waves" is *finally* _just_ starting to
come back into vogue a little. It's just in time too - because
we can't engineer new things with mystical properties but we
*can* engineer things that behave like water on a tiny tiny
scale.
#quantum mystery - as much as many people love you - may
eventually go away, and uncertainty will return to where it
belongs : a condition in which we just don't have all the
information - rather than some kind of fundamental property of
the Universe itself...
I expect some ppl might not like it - but I believe its
inevitable. Even if its not PERFECT - for us to engineer quantum
computers we *need* to shake off the mystique and start learning
how to read _waves_ and get rid of this particle idea crud. I
mean, "fuzzy"? Fuzzy and clouds are the current way of
describing quantum things? Seriously? Just get back to waves.
Maxwell was right 150 years ago. We went down a productive
rabbit trail that gave us fantastic inspiration - but there's
stuff to be built to improve future. We had the answer all along
and if we have to dismantle a lot of textbooks to make the
corrections so be it.
Mind you, text books still teach the tongue has a map, the
"brown eyed parents with brown eyed parents CANNOT have blue
eyed children" crap which we KNOW isn't true... and even that
LIGHT BENDS when you put a pencil in water. LIGHT DOESN'T BEND
yet they keep teaching this crud.
Enough with the confusion. ugh, lemme get off my soapbox. There.
I took a stand.
