As someone who did 3 years of a physics degree and then ended up crashing and burning at the basic quantum stuff until I ultimately quit, I sympathize with this wholeheartedly. Like its fascinating and all, and its great that some people are able to get it, but like, if I have to deal with a Schrödinger equation again I think I might scream.
H|ψ> = E|ψ> 😘
That's the devils pitch fork right?
In the end I only saw devils marching in with pitchforks
I love learning about quantum physics from YouTube, but my impression is a lot of it ends up being "particals are just silly little guys at the quantum level" or "we have two models: one for normal big physics and one for batshit crazytown tiny physics".
I just enjoyed how new freaky symbols being used for operators started popping up out of nowhere.
Because without them you run out of paper too fast
It wasn’t this part that tripped you up was it?
