    That's what I find so frustrating about most mainstream science journalism. They take something that's actually quite interesting if you actually bother to understand it, but ignore the interesting details to conflate some meaningless hype that just leaves most of the public even dumber than they were before the article.

    I can't read real science magazines, though.

    When they start getting into the real details, my brain goes completely numb because I really do not recognize something like 40 to 50% of the words they are using.

    I fucking hate pandering to the stupid people.


    You tell them teleportation has been done, and unless you're making mice reappear 800 miles away they think its stupid.


    You fucking prole. they are transferring information faster then the speed of light. This is monumental stuff.

    exactly! there is some really fucking amazing research going on but so many people can't be bothered with actually trying to even begin to understand it and they get jazzed about the stupid shit, or about something that is exciting but completely miss why it's actually exciting

    I assumed you were talking about the possibility that quantum entanglement could be exploited to store and manipulate data.

    I read a bit more about it, and it sort of is superluminal, but you still have to transmit some data classically, otherwise it doesn't work.

    Man, quantum physics is fucked up,

    I get EVERYTHING about classical physics. I don't know how to apply it to anything, but I am high fiving Einstien like crazy and I have got his shit completely down pat.


    I understand the very teeny tiniest parts of the fundamentals of quantum. I read more than 5 sentences on quantum and my brain deactivates.

    see the reason you have problems with quantum mechanics is because you're trying to make sense of it
    you just need to accept that's how it is even if it seems nonsensical

    My brain cannot help but go "But *why*" and too often the answer is "we seriously don't even fucking know" or so dense and complex that I cannot comprehend it.
