• "In the first slide of that lecture he points out that a wavefunction is not a physical observable (because otherwise the collapse of a wavefunction in an experiment would imply superliminal propagation of a physical object)."
• "He also generalized that the quantum wavefunction is not algorithmic."
• "Because of the constant electon/postitron splitting and pairing, the wavefunction is very, very chaotic appearing."
