If you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.

To be fair, the world is still pretty easy to understand as long as you don’t go past a certain level. Everyone has some bodies hidden in the attic and Quantum Physics is basically that Attic.

Coulomb units have done irreparable damage to my way of physics thinking

Lord Kelvin said in 1900 : (reformulated, not exact citation)
“Only 2 clouds remain before we completely understand physics :
The impossibility to prove the existence of the ether,
And we have no explanation for the value of blackbody radiation.”
the 1st cloud was hiding the theory of relativity.
The 2nd cloud was hiding the quantum physics.

The second tower of Babel.
We really peaked at the falling apple
