As someone who did 3 years of a physics degree and then ended up crashing and burning at the basic quantum stuff until I ultimately quit, I sympathize with this wholeheartedly. Like its fascinating and all, and its great that some people are able to get it, but like, if I have to deal with a Schrödinger equation again I think I might scream.
I love learning about quantum physics from YouTube, but my impression is a lot of it ends up being "particals are just silly little guys at the quantum level" or "we have two models: one for normal big physics and one for batshit crazytown tiny physics".

I just enjoyed how new freaky symbols being used for operators started popping up out of nowhere.
Because without them you run out of paper too fast

It wasn’t this part that tripped you up was it?

Wake me up inside
Cant wake up
I need a supercritical temperature of 80°C
Bring meee tooo half precissssion..
I've been living a lie! I'm only 36°C inside!
Bring me toooooo ----

I’m experiencing a great deal of uncertainty.

"They really ought to keep this filth off public access television."
"Due to the quantum nature of such filth, it is simultaneously shown on TV and not shown on TV."

I don't care what all the avant-garde, intellectual nambie-pambies say, IT IS FILTH!

I wonder how many physicians are going to get calls from this...

Well none, it clearly says to call your physicist ;)

at least it's not about quantum inertia ... right?
