Fermions are weird about each other in a standoffish way. Integer-spin particles are weird about each other in a ‘stand uncomfortably close while talking’ kind of way.

    The math is describing reality - but that’s why I highlighted that the math predicted it long before there was experimental evidence.

    From what we know about the quantum realm (my physics professor liked using that description, as if it’s a whole different existence), it appears that it’s actually the opposite: reality is obeying the math. Consider how wild that is - particle interactions are doing what they do because of how mathematics works. Something that we humans came up with to describe observations.
