      It would be equally as effective as praying to an electron as it is to pray to skydaddy. Also you are very unlikely to send a country back to the dark ages by praising the wave function.

      Fine, I tentatively approve of this religion. You have my blessing. Go with photon my son.

      Did you know that, mathematically, there can be a three-dimensional universe that closes in on itself? If you went in a straight line, you would always end up coming back to the same place.
      Believe in math! Or more specifically, with whoever says they understand math!

        Yeah but not always and besides whose to say that we are requesting the past, or whether we’re really just experiencing an increase in empathy beyond our usual limits? Maybe this is our evolution that we’re experiencing, just like COVID may have been China’s black death…

          What do you mean covid may have been China’s black death? China experienced yersinia pestis back when it was plaguing Europe, so black death was already China’s black death, maybe even before it was Europe’s black death.

      It’s a hypothesis that we haven’t managed to understand how to even test yet, come on

        What? There have been hundreds of experiments confirming many different hypotheses of quantum physics…

        The photoelectric effect you have seen nearly every day (have you every used a modern camera with auto-iris? What about solar power?)

        The double-slit experiment proves that subatomic particles can act as both a particle and a wave, which is pretty instrumental in further theories of QM.

        Freedman-Clause verified quantum entagnlement.

        Usage of Nuclear energy for both bombs and generating electrical power…

        Superconductors and Cooper-pairs.

        Even the other poster joking about the Copenhagen interpretation - Copenhagen lead to discoveries in Qubit measurement (read up on Quantum State Tomography).

        Quantum physics isn’t one single, independent theory… And it keeps evolving as our understanding changes.
