"Quantum" rant

<rant>

 

There's one fundamental problem with all this quantum stuff.

We human beings don't act at the quantum level, i.e., subatomic scales.

It's a bit like saying a tree has the same stuff as a seed and so a tree should behave like a seed.

Or that I am made up of subatomic particles like electrons and so I should behave like a fuzzy electron cloud.

If I can somehow access a part of me at a subatomic level, would the supra-atomic "I" still work? Would it even "be" there? Is there a subatomic "I" or does my multi-trillion-molecular "I" somehow shrink down to a subatomic one?

Simple test for "creating" one's own universe - walk through a solid wall by moving all one's particles from one side of the wall to the other - an electron can do that, at subatomic distances. So surely humans who believe in quantum tunnelling effects at human scales can too, right?

Emotional "stuff" makes sense, not matter. By changing my attitude towards my life and everything in it, I can rewire my brain, and apparently a large part of my genes. Not my subatomic particles - they literally can't care whether they are in an optimistic or pessimistic brain. They work the same way in both.

A car is made with tyres. Does it normally roll like a tyre? It rolls ON tyres - a big  and comfortable difference. A petrol car has controlled explosions in its engine. Would you want to ride in a car that explodes every second?

Surely it's not difficult to understand that what happens at a very, very minuscule scale of space need not be the same as what happens at the scale of an adult human being.
