Quantum physics would like a word

Something is in a quantum superposition state or it isn't, absolute binariness.

Quantum physics doesn't exist, it is invented by physics professors to sell you more quants

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

just fyi that's kinda the worst comparison you can make: The whole point of quantum physics is that it revolves around quanta, discrete states with no continuum between them. Best case it implies that there are a lot of genders, but it still implies each gender is its own distinct thing completely different from the other ones.
