> Even better example, "Heavy things fall faster". Or "The sun revolves around the earth". Except that those two particular examples are very easy to explain to (nearly) everybody:
1- you think that heavy things fall faster because this is true when there is air resistance. 2-Q:if you have one 'fixed' object and one rotating object, what do you see from the rotating object?
A: the same thing as from the 'fixed' object.
So is it the Sun which is revolving or the Earth?
You don't feel like the Earth is moving but observation of remotes stars have shown us that this is the case. Which is NOT the case for QM!
A good example: QM 'spooky action at distance', QM predicts that there are non-local instantaneous (FTL) effects, but they cannot be used to send data FTL and this has been measured to be true (mostly). |

Explanations do not affect intuition at all, it's too primal to listen to any reason. Even despite the fact that everybody heard this explanation from the elementary school, watching this in action is still mind-blowing. Check it out yourself [1], and answer honestly - was your intuition puzzled by what you've seen?
