This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's not Newtonian physics, we know Newtonian physics is wrong and have done for about a century.
It's Einstein physics and quantum mechanics that need to be unified. Of course the fact that they don't agree probably indicates that one, or the other, or both is also wrong.
I suspect that the real answer probably has something to do with our misunderstanding in how coarse graining plays inro quantum mechanics, because it just seems sort of a cop out to say that changes smooth out over larger distances. It's just putting an arbitrary boundary between the two realms. It's a good explanation but it also doesn't really make any sense because why would the universe care?
