Damn Heisenberg

Congratulations, you’ve successfully explained quantum mechanics.

Sometimes I get the sense that I have a clear picture of quantum mechanics. But when I look closer, it gets all blurry.

This isn't even a joke, it's literally true in quantum mechanics.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank you for explaining the joke, I now know less.

You know nothing, but you know precisely about what you know nothing.
