Exorcist

[Lisa & Ian Murray]

That's the least of it. QM is so bizarre that it is really hard to wrap your
head around what is supposed to be going on at the quantum level even if you
can derive the theorems and confirm your results by observations. That is
why
Bohr's "Copenhagen interpretation," an antirealist metatheory of QM, has a
lot of plausibility. Reality may not only be queerer than we suppose, as
J.D.
Bernal (a Marxist) once said, it may be queerer than we _can_ suppose. QM is
the main instance of that. I don'ts ee why science has to presuppose that
the
world is intelligible to our finite understandings and imaginations, just
that there is order there that we can find by empirical investigation.

Physicist Robert Dicke called it so bizarre "that it shouldn't even be
considered a mechanics at all." [prayin' you don't ask me to dig through the
piles for the source][mechanics is a metaphor, perhaps.....]
