Quantum mechanics are simply ridiculous. For the basis of our daily lives to be built on something so beyond and incomprehensible relative to our daily lives makes absolutely no sense. Why wouldn't these same patterns and relative roles and relationships we interact in as humans work on a subatomic level? Could humans ever model subatomic interaction.
The particular subject I'd like to comment on is how ridiculous it is that we can't actually tell where electrons are, or if they even are. Can electrons tell where electrons are? The fact that something can definitely exist in an indefinite location seems slightly absurd, and almost impossible to believe. It might seem hard, but I believe I have to abandon my current way of categorizing/viewing the world to truly understand quantum mechanics.

Did you know video
Today I was asked to bear witness to statistics revealing all too clearly the unique challenges facing the next generation of people, students, and American students. Issues such as the smartest quarter of India's population being more than the total population of the United States, and the rate at which the amount of information known to man is growing pose unique challenges to the education system and students.
My junior high superintendent was fond of quoting a select group of statistics in the video- those covering the creation of new jobs, how we won't hold them, and how there will be too much to know, as part of emphasizing the curricular adaptations I have already been partaking in.
On whole, however, the video strikes some fear into me for the stability of my future, and what kind of job there will be, I'll be needed for with the influx of computers and foreigners, as well as how international affairs will be changed. My hope would be that the classic traits which have thus far withstood 300 years of industrialization, creativity and hard work, will help me find a place in a changed world, or at least create a system in which a place can be found.
Science also becomes more valuable, so I can know 2/4,000,000 of all scientific knowledge there will be, instead of 1/4,ooo,ooo. Like a complete idiot.
