Quantum physics

quantum physics is bullshit.

determinism was the greatest mental leap of the Enlightenment, and these fools just dropped it.

Fine. Let me reconfigure my argument:

Quantom physics has produced equations and models which are capable of explaining how transistors and capacitors work more accuratly than classic theory.

Say I make two calculators. In one, when I add 2 to 3, I get 5. In another, when I do the same, I get 17. Which calculator is correct?

It's true that QM doesn't appeal to common sense, becuase, it is, after all, "common" to our perception. A universal model based of particals makes "sense" since, when we look around us, we see tangible things with properties which are tangible. Therefor, it's easy to assume that such properties are universal.

However, our perception is unique to us, and in no way "true". We can't conceve of living in a random world made up of only probablities any more than a fish can conceve of living out of water: If the fish were concience, it would assume that living in water is the *only* way to live, becuase that is its perception of its environment.

What we experience is a culmination of the over all effect of processes which make no sense in our minds, because our minds were raise in such a scale that we only see things which have a reason for existing. QM doesn't make sense, but it's far from bullshit. When was the last time an ENTIRE branch of science was wrong?

Nearly every physicsist today accepts QM to be true, because no other model accounts for the behaviors of the microatomic scales. Newtonian properties and Einstein's general and special reletivity stop producing any sensible results when working at such scales, but QM? Spot on...
