    I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.

    If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.

      I can do (some of) the maths, but I definitely can’t explain why any of it is like that, or how it works.

        I like watching it in action. I don’t know what the hell is going on, but it gives me a strange kind of peace, and if you stare at it long enough, you trick yourself into thinking that it makes some kind of sense.

        There’s an old joke about quantum mechanics professors starting their first lecture with something along the lines of “right now, some of you probably understand quantum mechanics. By the end of the semester, if I did my job right, none of us will understand it.”

        You both understand and don’t understand quantum mechanics at the same time… It’s that simple, that is until such a point at which becomes known as to whether or not you understand or don’t understand quantum physics and then some kind of quantum tunnel collapses?

        Quite a few people understand quantum mechanics, but they can’t explain it to you if you don’t understand the maths

        There’s no good way of putting quantum into words, all of the descriptions are wrong in more or less subtle ways
