Literally what is going on 😭

We’re getting into Quantum Mechanics and my brain hurts. An electron behaves a certain way until it just.. doesn’t? Schrödinger penned a formula for how the state of an electron changes over time (much like the Newtonian force=mass times acceleration). We can make predictions based on this formula for the wave, but we can’t determine exactly were it will go? Yikes

I'm reading two chapters a day to absorb this work fully. Overall, I'm having a great time learning about ontologies, Emergence, and Bayesian ideas. Now we're getting into larger ideas, and Carroll is describing the odds of Theism and Atheism in an expansive sense.
