All true. However, I think there's FAR TOO MUCH spook and
  mystery around QM (perhaps to assist in beefing up budgets to
  support a 20 year failed string theory program... they got used
  to the money they've been getting)...

  and it's been shown and many of the supposedly unique qm
  features are quite commonly found in the macroverse. Water,
  turbulence systems just among physical systems.... and mind you,
  I'm not knocking just the "ooh the level down there is _so
  special_" is a fiddle ttheoretical physics has been playing for
  a very very long time now.

  It's NOT. A few bits, yeah. But a lot of it can analogize
  perfectly well to macroscope concepts. I just wish they're stop
  turning quantum stuff into a religion.. I mean the genie is out
  of the bottle and it's far too late... but if I see ONE MORE
  thing that talks about "spooky" and "quantum" in the same
  breath.. and it comes from one of the spokespeople for Increased
  Funding for Theoretical Physics [and not .. um.. AI, or
  BIOLOGY... or.. other sciences].. I'm gonna hurl.

  they've been dominating the public eye ... talking.. while other
  sciences are... I dunno.. sciencing. Theoretical physics is the
  religious leader of the sciences.
  Think about: The rest of the sciences are considered ... boring.
  If you take away theoretical physics, what do we lose? The
  imagination of the public.
  Yet, all of the science remains intact. Regular physics stays
  intact.
  There's no verification required in theoretical physics. They
  can say.. whatever. Stick some math at it. "here you go.
  Universe is math everybody". You can prove anything with math.
  That's why it's so powerful. *sigh*. I'll shush. I'm stepping on
  toes.
