It was simply not possible for reasons which include the difficulty/impossibility of visualizing what the equations of QM were saying. — TheMadFool

Jesus! You had an epiphany? Wow! — Thunderballs
I don't know why QFT doesn't get explored all that much on this forum. — PoeticUniverse
I do. It's considered difficukt while in fact there ain't nothing to it. — Thunderballs
What question? — Thunderballs
Of those like "Why anything?" or "What's it's all about?" — PoeticUniverse
Only God(s) knows that. — Thunderballs
Well, He's not needed any more since Existence has no alternative. No need to move up a level. — PoeticUniverse
It's not moving up a level. You can of course ask "but where did gids came frim". But that's a different question. I can't imagine the universe to be there without a creation by god(s). Even when it's eternal. There has to be someone behind it. — Thunderballs
The "shut up and calculate" remark, made by David Mermin, was meant to discourage people from . . . — TheMadFool

Quantum Fields are the Ground of Determination — PoeticUniverse
But from where came the quantum fields, these simultananeity of all paths in phasespace (or Markov chains)? These fields in a spacetime. From where came spacetime in its eternity? — Thunderballs
The quantum fields exhaust Reality. There's no "coming from" for the Eternal Fundamental that has no beginning or end. — PoeticUniverse
That' s the question! — Thunderballs
There's no question about the ever and always of the Fundamental. — PoeticUniverse
That's the question! — Thunderballs
What is the math of the whole field of QFT describing? — Thunderballs

I know this article! — Thunderballs
So you must be on Ulrich’s mailing list. It was only published yesterday. — Wayfarer
"A quantum object has no way of being something in itself, independently of the experimental context in which it is observed"
Here I disagree. — Thunderballs
