    Can we have an exception for one religion? It’s called quantum physics.

      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.

        At school we make fun out of it because you cannot see this physics, you can just believe maths is right ;)

          You know, that’s a good point. The first step to understand quantum is a suspension of disbelief.

      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.
