Have you read Feynman’s Lectures on Physics, Vol 3? First few chapters, describing the double slit experiment, at least through to the part about turning the light on and off. Best intro to the myst...

Much cooler when you explore this phenomenon in the context of quantum information theory. When you take out many degrees of freedom in the physics and just focus on the transformations on quantum amplitudes things get less spooky. Ok it’s still a bit spooky.

Susskind has a mind blowing theory called ER = EPR where he makes the case that entanglement has similar properties to worm holes 🤯 there may even be quantum wormholes connecting entangled particles. QM is a lot of fun 😁

pretty sure this is what led wolfram to his hypergraph theory of everything 😂 have you seen his latest blogpost on it?

Ok frens, once we all get the decentralized web figured out, I say our next big project should be to unify QM and general relativity into a single theory. We should probably try to figure it out before the technological singularity hits, bc who knows what the hell’s gonna happen sixty seconds aft...

I hadn’t heard of ER = EPR, but I like it. Have you heard of the 4-geon model of elementary particles by Mark Hadley? “It has been shown by Hadley that the logic of quantum mechanics is consistent with general relativity when closed time-like curves are permitted.” Closed timelike curves i...

Seth Lloyd's "Programming the Universe" and Wojciech Zurek's work on Quantum Darwinism are required reading for anyone on the intersection of computer science and physics.
