I had set out to disprove quantum field theory - and the opposite occurred! I was shocked.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.
Most physicists like myself won't believe the result until every possible caveat has been investigated and/or the result is confirmed elsewhere.
The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding.
I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.
Quantum physics is a bit of a passion of mine. It's extraordinary. There's a branch of mathematics that is based on lunacy, and that's wonderful.
Quantum physics is one of the hardest things to understand intuitively, because essentially the whole point is that our classical picture is wrong.
I wouldn't have thought that a wrong theory should lead us to understand better the ordinary quantum field theories or to have new insights about the quantum states of black holes.
I'm fascinated with quantum physics.
I finished up my graduate degree in quantum mechanics, but underwent a bit of a personal crisis, recognizing that I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life. It was too abstract, too far removed from human concerns.
Sci-fi has never really been my bag. But I do believe in a lot of weird things these days, such as synchronicity. Quantum physics suggests it's possible, so why not?
