I recently become interested in learning the basics of quantum mechanics. I found this very cool course from Georgetown University and it is free.

Just thought maybe some of you monsters would be interested in exploring this journey too?

I'd like to see how this compares to the quantum mechanics course I took in college. I still get nightmares about those exams.

Quantum mechanics are mostly just statistics.

There's a great book called "quantum theory can't hurt you". It does an objectively good job at explaining things to someone who has 1/

That's cool, but what we really need right now is compulsory Ethics and Civics classes for everyone.

There is like a handful of people on Earth who I'd believe actually know things about Quantum Mechanics. Things, not QM itself

Nobody really understands it YET.

I dont think i understand it; so I understand it; which means I don't understand it

So you both understand and don’t? Is this like Schrödinger’s Quantum Mechanics

I don't understand it and I have a PhD in it.

Do you just put the word ‘quantum’ in-front of everything?

That gives us "quantum everything"... vague.

I have to avoid learning advanced concepts that deal with the nature of reality. I have a habit of time warping into the future.

I have always thought the possibility of time travel is plausible. Time being the most precious currency.

Wow, that's almost the exact same as my average speed, just infinitesimally faster. What a coincidence!
