I didn't quite understand what he meant, but it pops up everywhere in physics. Quantum field theory explains all know phenomena minus the existence of spacetime and gravitation in a consistent way, but it's usually way too hard to use in practice. We limit its use to high energy phenomena and a few low energy scenarios. It is also unnecessary. Most problems can be treated much more easily with non-relativistic quantum mechanics or classical approximations. | |

| Apr 9, 2023 at 23:36 | comment | added | Marvin | Thank for your answer. It's indeed fascinating or perhaps sad that humans aren't capable of understanding such inate characteristics of nature. It's a limitation on the way our minds work. Regarding your answer, is there any feasible explanation that can explain all the mentioned phenomena in a consistent way? Every single explanation that I find on this matter ends up in inconsistencies, loopholes or is incongruent with a previous explanation. | |
