Rant about physics

[MG]

It's not because the molecular bindings of the wall minerals and human tissue can withstand pressure because it's always divided over multiple proximity points (electron shells) and directions? Similar on large scale: a sand bag being bullet proof?
I wonder if it makes a difference if you hit a wall that's made of forward pointing synthesized chains of similar atoms...

"What is the optimum speed to run through the rain to get the least amount wet?" and other useless stuff college kids think about while "eating a sandwich" LOL

I story. In biology class i put as cigarette in mouth skelet. At the end of the class skelet had a brown tooth.

Thus, just because our most fundamental theory is intrinsically probabilistic doesn't mean that Nature itself is probabilistic. If that last sentence even means anything,

You got it, man. Things beyond are very beautiful but also very terrifying at the same time. If you think quantum mechanics is making people physically ill, just wait till you go beyond it.

Same as you are not worried about a single raindrop fall into your window may wet your carpet.
But having the roof hatch open while a thunderstorm is another beast.
It's not only always all about quality ("water is wet"), but also quantity makes a difference ("one raindrop does not wet your carpet. half a million rain drops will flood your living room.")

Many weird theories sound convincing plausible, because they're often based on causal chains containing true quality points only, which one has to agree to, but ignore the fact that quantity is a point of its own, too.
Looking at both at the same time is too complex for most people's brains to handle.
But you don't need such tricks in a society that simply believes everything you tell them anyway, even if you contradict yourself constantly.

But I thought "rant about physics" was more the kind of:
"I hate it, that this damned speed of light cannot be increased!"
(I know a guy who would say: "We will do it in two weeks!")

You have made an interesting observation here

Just do the math. Nobody understands it "Feynmann".
