Q is for Quantum Physics

R.a.n.t. of day 04/20/15

This is one of those things I have very little or no knowledge of. It's a scientific term, I know, and some of my favourite scientists have dabbled in this field. (See my Einstein mug HERE, or my 'Schrödinger's Cat' poem HERE for further proof I do have favourites). My problem is I really don't know what this scientific field is all about or it's usefulness. And that bothers me, mostly because I like to think of myself as intelligent. So to know there is something out there I don't understand, is frustrating.

Quantum Physics isn't the only thing I don't understand obviously, but the point is, when I come across something I don't understand it makes me uncomfortable. Why can't I figure it out? Why, even when I read a paragraph describing what it's about, do I either fall asleep half way through, or zone out? Unlike Will Smith's solution to the problem, I will have to come to grips there are things in this world I will never understand. Women; decaffeinated coffee; drivers who speed around you on the right then get in front of you only to stop and make a left hand turn at the next block. Now I will add quantum physics to the list.

I'd complain more on this subject, but I'm getting brain tired thinking about it. I need a nap.

Some questions for discussion:
What are your thoughts on quantum physics?
Do you believe little Tiffany deserved to die? (See video below).
What things do you have problems understanding?
