I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.
Both quotes attributed to Richard Feynman.
I can do (some of) the maths, but I definitely can’t explain why any of it is like that, or how it works.
You know what, i keep thinking that maybe, our universe is the only universe that actually functions. Like, if the universe was in some different way, it either wouldn’t work and we would therefore not exist to observe it, or it would be equivalent to this universe, i.e. maybe not exactly equal, but similar in some way, sothat we could form abstractions and arrive at the same universal laws that we have today. Including quantum mechanics.
We all end up looking at cats in boxes pictures on the internet whenever we start to try to understand oh wow this cat is funny.
I can tell a piece of software to do the maths for ms. Sometimes the results appear to work with reality.
People complain about LLMs hallucinating, but they have no idea of how many assumptions and just plain “everybody does it this way, I guess it works” are there in scientific research.
It’s called the heuristic method and those doing it know the limitations. Whereas LLMs will just confidently put out garbage claiming it true.
The different domain though. LLM hallucinations may lead to catastrophe, while assuming infinite mass of an electron in absence of electromagnetic field is neat
Calculations will happily tell you that an acutely toxic drug is the best way to cure cancer.
The reason why that does not lead to catastrophe is that there are many checks and safety nets in place in order not to blindly trust any result.
The exact same approach can be applied to an LLM.
It’s hard to explain quantum mechanics when you don’t understand them.
It’s hard to explain quantum mechanics even when you understand them.
It’s a superposition of knowledge and ignorance.
The more you know the less you know
Sometimes I get the sense that I have a clear picture of quantum mechanics. But when I look closer, it gets all blurry.
Congratulations, you’ve successfully explained quantum mechanics.
This isn’t even a joke, it’s literally true in quantum mechanics.
Thank you for explaining the joke, I now know less.
I understand them! They perform oil changes on the quantum
They’re so good they fix your car on the quantum level!
They both do and don’t fix your car, you just don’t know until you’ve paid them. No refunds!
Thats the joke!

Every time my wife walks in on me peeing she just stares at my pecker and asks me “so how does it come out?”
I’ve read this like ten times and I think the joke might be that quantum mechanics are difficult to explain to everyone, of which women are obviously a subset. But maybe I’m doling out too much credit lol
The joke is that quantum mechanics are difficult to understand, so the commenter doubts their ability to properly explain it (to women). The replier assumed it was a dig at women’s intelligence, not a reflection of the original commenter’s intelligence and ability to explain.
I.e. a stupid person would have difficulty explaining anything to women.
No thats definitely the joke.
To be fair, the original question did not clearly state it needed to be easy to explain to men. The only requirement was to be difficult to explain to women. So, technically, this answers the question as written.
And we all know that technically correct is the best kind of correct.
My grandfather didn’t die in Korea so that people could fight online like this.
Oh same, my grandpa didn’t die in Korea either. Twins!
