kek the p=np one got me

>number theory is purely theoretical and has no effect on real life
Is this really a common thing?

>Entropy is a measure for disorder

This one really grinds my gears.

Came up in a recent IUT thread a lot, I doubt that the average person considers it to be a useful field, most people seem to think that anything past basic maths is purely masturbatory.

>Quantum computers are faster because can just try every possible answer at once

There's nothing wrong with simplified explanations, as long as you understand that this doesn't give the whole picture.

Microwave Oven pranks.

>Schrödinger's cat is dead and alive simultaneously

I hate this god damn thought experiment, especially when people referring to it don't understand what superposition is
