“Unlike simplified projectile motion, you can never predict the exact trajectory of your life or career. Plans will change, and unexpected opportunities will arise. Sometimes, the best path forward isn’t the one you first imagined.”

🧠🔬 Physicist Jeffrey M. Epstein explores the “Wigner’s Friend” thought experiment, delving into how quantum mechanics challenges our understanding of consciousness and reality. Can the mind influence matter?

Mechanical resonators + atomic force microscopes = longer-lived qubits.
