    Do I understand the physical and philosophical ramifications of quantum physics? No.

    Do I understand the mathematical machinery of quantum physics and how to do calculations for quantum systems? Also no, but I’m working on it.

      I bet no one truly understands the mathematical machineries, Renormalization is hell of a drug.

        Renormalization

        Whoa there! I bet you don’t even know anymore how many things you have to not understand before you can fail to understand renormalization.

        Anyway, when normal people talk about quantum physics, they aren’t talking about that.
