Ha! I go to UFO websites, and there's always people talking about quantum mechanics like this, "Quantum Mechanics says...", and then I'm lost
So are they!

It already ended. Sebleb disappeared so I interviewed pdela. Now he's all famous and probably going to jail for fraud.
oh, you guys talking about quantom mechanics? simple! [checks wikipedia]
uh....
The mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics are abstract. A mathematical function, the wavefunction, provides information about the probability amplitude of position, momentum, and other physical properties of a particle. Mathematical manipulations of the wavefunction usually involve bra–ket notation which requires an understanding ofcomplex numbers and linear functionals. The wavefunction formulation treats the particle as a quantum harmonic oscillator, and the mathematics is akin to that describingacoustic resonance.
I can post some links to videos by Brian Greene or Leonard Susskind to help you understand it better, but qm is some bizarre stuff. Entanglement is just wrong.
but is that neccecary? wavefunction, probability amplitude, bra-ket notation, quantum harmonic oscillator, simple as pi!

I was going to google it but I read a thread where I'm not supposed to google anything, and instead ask people, or go to the library
then why don't you wiki it like me?

I'm not good at complex mathematics so it's probably useless on me. But I can figure out 15-20% on a bill like a flash;)

Because this thread destroyed my anti-social life:
Watch Brian Greene's series The Fabric of the Cosmos. You don't need to have any math chops (I sure don't) but he covers the concepts and why they seem to do what they do. If you want to get deeper in the subject there are plenty of books and videos on it, but TFOTC is a good start.
You want to interview my famous sister?

I don't like Brian Green cause he belongs to that sect of string theorists.
On the other hand I specialize on Quantum Optics
Quantum physics is very simple. It's just a rule of tum.
Am i mistaken or does string theory lag behind g-strings in popularity ?
The rule of thumb is that anyone who says that they understand qm doesn't understand qm, so you're in good company.
