Can someone give me a very simple explanation of quantum theory?
Step 1) smoke something. Step 2) stare at funky equations Step 3) Be convinced that reality doesn’t exist Step 4) give up. Okay seriously tho. *Everything is actually a wave in the quantum scale (and sort of a particle). *Mass and energy are completely interchangeable. *Everything communicates via wave interference and some other weird stuff (that’s where the smoking comes in handy) *There are all sorts of characteristics that particles have (like charge, spin, color charge, flavor, etc…) that judge how they interact with one another. *Time starts acting funky and there are “quantum fluctuations” which turns a neat and orderly world where you understand everything into a hurricane. Most importantly… everything runs off of probability. You can never know both the position and direction of motion of a particle at any single time. So you can never predict with 100% accuracy what the outcome of an event will be. You can only pick randomly from a set number of options. (It’s like throwi
