- From Doktor J: "Boy, are you quantum gravity?
Because I'm relatively attracted to you." I have no idea what you're referring to or what you're talking about, but thanks.
Hi, I'm Brian Greene, physicist, professor, author, and I am here today to answer your questions from the internet.
This is Quantum Physics Support.
[upbeat music] @peleenmziry: "Do people actually understand quantum physics or do we all just pretend that we do?" We understand the core ideas, but they're very different from the things that we would think should happen in the universe based on our common experience.
So we have to reorient our thinking to align with the discoveries of quantum physics, and that's not easy, but it is something that those of us who immerse ourselves in these ideas are able to do.
So yeah, we do understand a lot about quantum physics.
Next question from @stooksman.
"Has some grizzled professor," like me, "poking a pencil through a folded sheet of paper to explain wormholes ever made anyone go 'aha!'?
Still seems like an incomprehensible magic to me." Take two points on a piece of paper.
