Scientists seem to have a problem with the fact that quanta don’t behave according to the laws of classic physics. I don’t see why this is a problem. It seems to me they are missing a point that is in plain sight like a purloined letter.
As I understand it, they laws of nature describe how matter moves through space. This movement is governed by certain forces such as gravity and inertia. But quanta is not matter. There is no such thing as a hydrogen electron or an oxygen proton. Only when quanta come together to form atoms do we have matter. So why are scientists dismayed that quanta don’t oby the laws of classic physics?
I think that accepting quanta as it is operating under its own laws could possibly go a long way in helping us understand the beginnings of our universe before the recombination. Are there laws in quantum physics that force quanta to come together as atoms? Laws that account for hydrogen being the most abundant kind of atom? etc.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
