Then it came to me that's what this equation was describing, I was elated. This is much better than when I discovered the Chinese character for duck, so I knew where to look on the

I think probabilities come when the set is too big to understand in a discrete way. Quantum is laziness. If we could measure it and track it, it would become easier to not have to talk in probabilities - you'd have the raw data.

Sadly, we ain't there yet. Maybe quantum computers are needed, but then where would you persist it all.

Sometimes the problem is vast for our mere made from dust minds to stretch to, and quantum is all be can come up with.
