And also emergent behavior means that at each level, we need different abstractions to deal with the problem. Even with chemistry, there's ideas like benzene rings that are aromatic, you couldn't predict that from particle-particle interactions. So it's not just that it's hard to understand quantum mechanics, it's that understanding QM doesn't mean you'll understand the problems that chemistry deals with. | ||
