“understanding” quantum theory

Post by planetquinn » Wed Jan 04, 2006 4:02 pm

Nice job, Empeda 2. I’m glad your answer appears first instead of one that begins, “It’s simple, really...”
I’ve seen too many “explanations” that only serve to show what a tenuous grasp the writer has on the subject. There was recently a silly movie with a silly title that I forget, which purported to unify Quantum theory and New Age voodoo. It reminds me of all the misunderstandings and misapplications of Evolution that have come along. Somebody smart said of Evolution, “everybody thinks they understand it, but nobody does.”

I messed up and posted this as a new topic. It’s intended as a reply to Quantum Theory posted by Em.
