html Weekend Whiners: Quantum Fluctuations Are Real, But Not Really

Quantum Fluctuations Are Real, But Not Really

Oh great, another weekend, another chance to complain about how much you're not getting enough sleep. Newsflash: quantum fluctuations are real, but not really. They're like the cosmic version of your aunt who's always talking about her arthritis.

In the quantum world, particles are constantly popping in and out of existence like your friend who's always popping in and out of your social circle because they're only there for the free food and drinks.

It's not like the fluctuations are actually changing anything, though. I mean, who needs a stable, predictable reality when you can have one that's constantly shifting like a kaleidoscope on a sugar high?
