The scientists of the quantum fields spring to mind. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!

My husband is a scientist. He's a computer scientist, but he's currently working with nanotechnology in the chemistry and physics department of a university (he's writing code for a project), and he's extremely well versed in physics. Occasionally, I get him to tell me about quantum theory, because when it's put in terms that I can understand, I find it quite interesting.

I have, though, occasionally accused him of believing in "that weird stuff, you know, quantum..."

We also have a family joke that when we can't explain how something happened or where something went, one of us will say "Oh, well, it's because of quantum".

Yeah, quantum physics is VERY weird. My husband argues that the difference between that and metaphysical stuff is that you can actually measure the quantum (usually, anyway).
