yours isnt the end all either

yeah i recognize its my personal preference for how to live

its just a more complex model

very true

and not the real thing

i see what you mean

well yes, we can never prove we have the final model

i think we might be close honestly. QM is fantastically good the only flaw is its not background independent like GR

the final model is the universe itself.

Nothing we can invent can explain the real model, because it would be made up of parts of the real model

we need a model for QM where spacetime is emergent instead of baked in

whats M ?

you can't make it more simple without cutting corners and generalising.

the thing is QM is ridiculously simple

and it works everywhere but black holes

M for Mexican

To understand QM you need nothing more than basic linear algebra, basic calculus, and abstract algebra

yeah but i think qm is a general idea, it doesn't account for every single action at every point in time... i understand that sentence i just made can be broken apart easily though .lol

but theres always deeper layers

can you explain what you mean by that

it can explain almost everything, it just cant predict all outcomes

basically we need better resolution at smaller scales to really see what's happening. qm is predictive, but not an exact model of reality.

the biggest problem is QM treats time and space as absolute, when we know theyre not

theyre emergent

we dont need better resolution.... QM is an exact model of reality or very close

We don't really go smaller anymore. We get more abstract to account for different cases and observations.

yeah VERY close.

JQM

the fuzziness of quantum predictions is a consequence of our inability to measure exact quantum states

and the reason we cant is because there's no operator for them

das tru

an operator is a hermitian matrix you can multiply the wavefunction by to obtain a measurement

das rite

hermitian is a fancy way of saying symmetric matrix when the matrixes are complex valued

tru

yes.

W = wavefunction, P = position operator. WxP = observed position of particle

uhuh

The reason we have uncertainty principle is because matrixes dont always commute

meaning that W x P x M != W x M x P (M = momentum operator)

What is the result of a quantum calculation?
