My understanding as a layperson: probably stuff is probably around here somewhere, probably.

The moment you think you understand it, that superposition collapses and you’re back to “huh?”

Every damn time.

Best advice I’ve probably gotten on any subject ever was in a modern physics course. The professor said to focus on the math first and then, only when you’ve got a solution, think about what it means. If you try to think about it while working it out, your intuitions about what should happen will get in the way and you’ll make mistakes.

I understand it by acknowledging that I don’t understand it.

And honestly that’s not a joke.

I keep reading articles about quantum physics in the hope that some day I’ll spot some kind of pattern that turns out to be the key to understanding it. No luck yet.

It’s all just magic.

Accept it. Embrace.

I pretend I understand string theory by pretending to explain it.

Somewhere someone else is, also.
