For an answer to your 5th question, please refer to a brilliant book, "The matter with things" by Iain McGilchrist. I'm finishing the first volume. He also wrote a chapter on the Quantum Field Theory referring to expertise of the experts from this field. I think we don't really know what reality contains and how it works on the most fundamental level. Different experts use different paradigms to interpret the phenomena. Quantum fields, morphogenetic fields. Ultimately, what we perceive and process is the left hemisphere of the brain's representations of the world we take in. With the Quantum Mechanics, it is not linear, but still, "the computation" is mechanical, which is only the part of the picture as opposed to the right hemisphere's take/ processing, which is more in touch with the reality as it is. It is as far as l understand for the moment. P.S. Lex, if you read it, would you mind recording one episode that refers to quantum computing, if possible, where the technical terms are explained? We will appreciate it! Thanks!

Thank you for your additional explanation. Thank you, Lex and Guillaume, for talking on this topic.I'm interested in it. It is not easy to understand for someone from outside of the area of expertise, not knowing the technical language. Nonetheless, it's very interesting. I will think it through & find out more to try to understand it.

There are different types of smart, meaning different types of intelligence and expertise.

Very good point! Thank you. Additionally : "To perform such a simulation, one must first take equations expressed in terms of continuous quantities and find a discrete formulation with is compatible with the bits of information in which computers trade...It remains one of the most important, yet rarely mentioned, open problems in theoretical physics. This suggests not necessarily that the simulation could not never be made but even if it could, it would involve translating the inherently continous nature of reality into the inherently discrete nature of machine process - a problem which might or might not prove intractable".

 @themafialp888 Great explanation. Thank you!

40 years of efforts to simulate the standard model on a computer has failed so far. " To perform such a simulation, one must first take equations expresses in terms of continuum quantities & find a discrete formulation which is compatible with the bits of information in which computers trade". 🤔 How could similar operation be possible as regards QFT- the Quantum Field Theory?

Iain McGilchrist "The matter with things". How does it translate to quantum computing ?

@Hakushodemon Quantum entanglement might be a proof of continuity and the wholeness of the so called reality (which is energy & information it conveys), as opposed to discrete phenomena.
