Quote:Probably because it was through reading about photons that I first became acquainted with some of the spookiness of QM. After that, because photons are so fundamental to the interactions among things in the universe. Buckyballs, however beautiful and interesting, aren't fundamental to my understanding of reality.Rgr that.
Quote:No doubt. If something further about light, or what's under light, comes up, then that new info defines a new context.What's under anything, everything...remember, light isn't a qm snowflake.

Quote:My current position is that modern science tends to add complexity, paradox, and ambiguity. But I'm willing for sure to let go of mystery when mysteries are actually solved. That being said, much of what you call my "woo" comes from a deep mistrust of reality, and much of that from too many minds blown studying physics.That's an interesting position on what science does. How would studying physics give you a deep mistrust of reality?
