    Really we should talk about quasi particles too. Not exactly a state of matter but stuff like polaritons blur a few lines.

      My brain is already hurting from all the things I thought were truths when I was younger just to find out that they purposely teach us wrong because to teach us correctly is too hard?!?

        no, because it’s everything is ludicrously complicated and the nuance often doesn’t apply in the majority of cases or understanding it is contingent on knowledge that is much easier internalise if you operate under a simplistic assumption first.

        Truth is for maths and logic, the rest is conjecture and models.
