  1. I have that audiobook, We Have No Idea. It’s really entertaining, groaningly funny, and deeply fascinating. It really does explain clever, complex ideas in a manner that anyone can understand.

  2. Doesn’t need to be unpleasant? It just needs to be, “novel,” and distracting? Don’t stare at spiders to experience, “more life.” Do something you don’t normally do, every day. Go to a museum? Take your dog to a different park? Read a different kind of book than you’re used to? Talk to strangers? Or, leap out of a perfectly serviceable plane if you have to, but surely, it’s the novelty, not the torture that’s important, right?

  8. It’s never been 100% clear to me: If a single electron passes through the double slit experiment, do you get only one dot on the back plate? Because, if that is the case, it would seem we have our explanation, which is just not fully understood yet. Doesn’t it? That every particle has a wave around it; possibly a Higgs Field or something even more exotic and Hilbert-ish. Perhaps scientists don’t like the implications of this? Since it would mean that whatever you make the slits out of, no matter how pure its atomic structure and how precise down to the last nano particle, they too will give off countless waves. You could never know if it was the electrons, or light beams or the material used to make the slits that were giving off the pilot wave? It could be either or both? Or neither, and something else is yet to explain it?
