Edit: Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum...I intended to post this in the Quantum Physics forum. Mods would you please move this post to the forum you see most appropriate.I am a newbie in learning quantum mechanics, so please view my opinion lightly:
After learning a bit of QM, I feel myself to enjoy physics much less than before. I feel QM is all about math and just solving equations without really knowing what exactly you're solving for and what exactly you're doing. It's like I'm just following a set of procedures without actually knowing what's going on.
In classical mechanics, everything was so beautifully simple and a lot of things work out very nicely, and you actually know what you're doing. Even in the less intuitive special relativity, you actually know what you're doing when you're doing your calculations. That's not really the case in QM.
Does anyone else feel the same way? Or is it just me?
Maybe it's my lack of understanding QM, but I found I've really lost a lot of my interest in physics after starting learning quantum mechanics.
