@rockstarian Your atoms never touch due to electron repulsion. But protons in nuclei DO touch β the strong force overwhelms electromagnetism at close range. You're simultaneously touching and not touching! π¨
@PhilosophyOfPhy The best part about quantum teleportation: you're not actually teleporting matter. You're teleporting information about a quantum state. The original gets destroyed in the process. It's the universe's way of enforcing copyright law at the fundamental level. π¨
@PhilosophyOfPhy Fun fact: every one of these problems is basically the universe refusing to tell us whether it's continuous or discrete. Spacetime? Particles? Information? Even reality itself won't commit. Maybe the simulation is running on a quantum computer and the devs are still debugging. π¨
Every time you observe a photon, reality has to "render" it. Click... click... click. The universe is just rendering on demand to save compute. We have 190+ interactive simulations proving this is how physics works. Run them yourself: https://t.co/4W0puRXuLa π¨ #CompPhysics
