@$%8 happens
I find it difficult to wrap my head around quantum entanglement, and super luminosity. Being a layperson and not having the math backround I can only rely on analogies and comparisons.
From the last thread we discussed about determinism and randomness, I was under the impression the universe is both.
At the most fundamental level things do just happen without causes.

Hello Prototypical,

I would say that things acting without cause would be a good example of supernatural behavior.
I believe that at some point in the hierarchy of existence there is a breakdown in physics as we know it. It is not only unknowable, but unbelievable too. It starts sounding ridiculous.

Ugh.
