Physics week 2

My feeling on uncertainty after last class was that everything seems to be uncertain, or that the only certainty is uncertainty. But maybe it is uncertain that everything is uncertain so maybe certainty exists? Mostly I feel confused about the whole thing. Just like the Schrodiner's cat problem - it is hard to apply to every day life, making it hard to conceptualize. To us, there are certainties - pick up a hot pan, burn your hand; tease the cat too much, get scratched -- and it is hard to take away that framework with which we organize our lives. I guess this also goes hand in hand with causality. It is mind boggling to take away the relationship we understand between cause and effect. Everything we have experienced in out lives lead us to believe one thing. But maybe it is all a problem of frame of reference which we talked about in our last class - the difficulty in seeing the world through another view point. All of a sudden, we are trying to see the world though the view point of the tiniest particles we know. This must come with some hesitations, pitfalls, and difficulties. If it did not that would surprising in and of itself.
To answer the question of if the universe is weird. Yes, it is very very weird. The way the macrocosm works is so different to the microcosm makes everything seem sort of crazy, bizarre, even magical. Stuff is happening in the tiniest way that defies everything we know - its pretty cool actually.
