gollark: If you are to actually make bold claims about theoretical physics instead of just paraphrasing random quantum things it would be beneficial to learn the relevant maths so you can understand the models.
gollark: I'm glad you are adding topic labels to this. This is very useful and I'd never have known this without you mentioning it.

gollark: As far as I know this is only true of some things, and in general things just have mass because they have energy and ??? things occur with this.
