Am I the only one who finds it beautifully ironic that at smaller quantum scales things get **more** complex. Every intuition would suggest that at smaller scales things should get simpler, afterall you have less stuff if your talking about two single atoms interacting for example.

@freemo depends how you look at at. At a distance we only see an average. A glass of water looks like a simple susten at rest at a distance but if you look closely and focus on single particles in the water then you see the fractal complexity of brownian motion. This is why reductionism can fail.
