I can sort of understand the weird as funky fuck idea that a particle can be in all possible positions at the same time. I get the cat being both alive and dead. ...Sort of.

I don't understand why the act of observing it magically makes it "pick a position"

How does that make any fucking sense? My brain go boom boom.

Honestly, the problem with quantum physics is that we don't really think that it actually works the way the equations imply, but the problem is we haven't found a situation where the equations don't work. It's somewhat ironically the exact opposite problem that most other scientific theories have.

If you talk like that you probably can't understand it. Just give up.

You're observing something ludicrously beyond extremely small. Just finding out anything about it by putting in energy to observe it affects what it's doing.

i mean, to be fair, no one really understands this, it's all just theoretical at this point

your information is out of date.

Google had a 52-qubit quantum computer a year ago. IBM has surpassed them and is on track to have a breakthrough version of it next year.

scientists have also manipulated quantum entanglement to transmit information at arbitrary distances instantly. they're making progress.

it's real, and it's understood. the challenges are in making the tech smaller.

but the exponential growth rate of innovation in technology is coming soon

quantum computing being figured out didn't solve the quantum measurement problem

i'm no expert but the applications theyre creating already suggests that someone, probably DARPA, has figured out a lot of shit recently
