>>12136209I am a layman. Please tell me if this description is roughly accurate. Basically the way I understand it is that, at particles seem to behave in strange and unintuitive ways at the micro scale. I read a metaphor like, "imagine if when boiling a pot of water, it didn’t gradually begin to boil, until a specific temperature is reached, and then it begins boiling all at once" or “imagine baking a cake, and instead of cooking slowly, after exactly 2 hours elapse, it goes from ingredients to being a finished cake”. Basically, you would expect things to behave continuously as we see at a macro scale, but on the micro scale we see things happening only at discrete energy levels.
Is this somewhat accurate? Or am is this just total BS I’m spewing?
