Commentator appears to have a layman's understanding of quantum mechanics.

Quantum Mechanics, and why we need interpretations of it.

What's so special about this ? I was always under the impression that quantum physics is allready 99% pure math ;)

You would need an intuitive theory of quantum mechanics first, which doesn't exist

It’s not trolling, it’s an obtuse reference to the unsolved measurement problem of Quantum Mechanics.

what's less bullshit than quantum mechanics if you don't mind me asking?

If you didn't write quantum mechanics yourself, how do you know it's not out to get you? :)

Sounds like quantum mechanics at work here.

That's the whole problem of quantam physics, isn't it

In said quote, Einstein advocates hidden variable theory, which was disproven. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test_experimentsI would strongly advise people who do not have extensive tuition in Quantum Mechanics to refrain from speculating about the consequences of QM. I have been taking QM classes for several years now, and the most valuable thing I've learned
