There’s an old joke about quantum mechanics professors starting their first lecture with something along the lines of “right now, some of you probably understand quantum mechanics. By the end of the semester, if I did my job right, none of us will understand it.”
You both understand and don’t understand quantum mechanics at the same time… It’s that simple, that is until such a point at which becomes known as to whether or not you understand or don’t understand quantum physics and then some kind of quantum tunnel collapses?
A lot of us understand it as dice rolls based on shit we can’t account for, more or less. Be a bit easier when someone finds out vacuum energy causes unstable isotopes to decay but I’m not nearly that smart and I’m also digressing. Kids in 300 years acting like it’s common sense lol
It’s hard to explain quantum mechanics when you don’t understand them.
I understand them! They perform oil changes on the quantum
They’re so good they fix your car on the quantum level!
Thats the joke!
It’s hard to explain quantum mechanics even when you understand them.

If they’re lucky they might understand kubernetes though.
Iirc, it’s a youtube video of an actual class

It’s a superposition of knowledge and ignorance.
The more you know the less you know
Sometimes I get the sense that I have a clear picture of quantum mechanics. But when I look closer, it gets all blurry.
Congratulations, you’ve successfully explained quantum mechanics.
This isn’t even a joke, it’s literally true in quantum mechanics.
Thank you for explaining the joke, I now know less.
You know nothing, but you know precisely about what you know nothing.
Only before you check, though.
The more you know of one thing the less you know of the other*
This is true about everything though.
I thought that was like its thing. It doesn’t really make sense.
No one understands quantum mechanics
Whoa. Blakeception

No habla English
Vos me queres decir que entender mecanica cuantica es como entender el final de evangelion?
The waves of this comment collapsed into photons entering my eyes showing me a joke about superposition once I observed it.
You should Hadamard again to reverse the superposition.
¿Que paso?
Quite a few people understand quantum mechanics, but they can’t explain it to you if you don’t understand the maths
There’s no good way of putting quantum into words, all of the descriptions are wrong in more or less subtle ways
Then why do I have anti- matter in my trunk?

That was the point, right?
It’s hard to explain jokes when you don’t understand them.
