To grossly simplify it, on a scale smaller than atoms, the quantum level, everything suddenly turns into a goddamn circus. Quantum physics is to regular everyday physics as a David Lynch film is to a mainstream blockbuster. We're talking particles popping in and out of existence, being in two places at the same time, and generally acting like assholes.
hahaha

Yeah, that part about generally being assholes had me in stitches.
I read as much as I can understand about quantum physics on a regular basis. I don't get the mathematics or anything ridiculous, but I do have an understanding on a bit.
It's by far the most interesting science out there, in my opinion.

I've read enough of it to know that I really don't want to spend a lot of time thinking about it
quantum computers
can solve insanely complicated math problems based on the assumption that someone, in some other alternate universe/reality is working on a different part of the equation at the same time (multiplied by infinity)

yeah, when you read Discover magazine, they are either interviewing the next "Einstein" in the field or one of the many in line panning it because it is totally unprovable....
wonder where the science will be in 20 years.
