Anything in scare-quotes ("Like this") below is a word or concept that I only have rudimentary, incomplete, or mistaken understanding of- you have been forewarned.
Currently, our best understanding of the time evolution of the universe is given by the standard model of particle physics, which is quantum mechanical and uses the Schrodinger wave equation to predict the behavior of subatomic particles like electrons. The Schrodinger wave equation gives PROBABILISTIC answers, and you only get "waveform collapse" and "the application of the Born rule" when you actually interact with... (read more)
Congrats!!! By successfully navigating this insane maze you've now 'proven' that you can obtain funds.
