Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in order to build cool devices.
Seth LloydProgrammed by quanta, physics gave rise first to chemistry and then to life; programmed by mutations and recombination, life gave rise to Shakespeare; programmed by experience and imagination, Shakespeare gave rise to Hamlet.
Seth LloydThe history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer.
Seth LloydSome folks think life and technology and mind can keep expanding forever. Others say it can't. We are still not clear on that.
Seth LloydUnlike mathematical theorems, scientific results can't be proved. They can only be tested again and again, until only a fool would not believe them. I cannot prove that electrons exist..........if you don't believe in them I have a high voltage cattle prod I'm willing to apply as an argument on their behalf. Electrons speak for themselves.
