Another Post on Quantum Physics

It’s hard to argue against the father of our understanding of the atom, Niels Bohr, but I’ve always been taken by what the more recent physicist Richard Feynman said, “If you think you understand quantum mechanics then you don’t understand quantum mechanics.”

What this means, of course, is that there is no way to understand quantum mechanics, which seems correct, doesn’t it?  Our minds were not designed to make sense of all this.

Btw, the reason we’ve replaced the word “mechanics” with “physics” is that, between the 1920s and today, we’ve leaned that there are many more aspects to the subject than mechanics, e.g., quantum electrodynamics.
