Description

I know this episode got a lot of flak back in the day, but if it was true that Dave Polsky said that this was what he was going for with that episode, then I honestly think that it was brilliant.
 
Einstein refused to acknowledge quantum mechanics because it seemed strange, unnatural, and unscientific to him, just like Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Sense!

Does this mean she’ll put pinkie in a box, and until the box is opened she is both partying and not partying
 
Yes, that is one aspect of Quantum Mechanics (although we all know that since this is Pinkie Pie, she’d definitely be partying in that box ;D)
 
Ahhh, this takes me back to my uni classes in Quantum Mechanics… (I failed both modules in it xD)

I got curious to see there was a few “relativity” tags, and I was not disappointed!

Pretty solid answer with AJ being Newtonian mechanics!
 
“Gravity is curves in spacetime!”

All it takes is a quantum theory of gravity. Then at least we’d be able to reconcile all four fundamental forces.

So… Twilight actually figuring out how Pinkie sense works would be like us discovering the Unified Field Theory (as coined by Einstein, at the very least).

Conclusion: Ponyville is a black hole, the one region of spacetime where these two contradictory sets of laws must interact.
 
QM and Einsteinian relativity aren’t exactly contradictory, anymore than relativity and Newtonian mechanics. It’s just that each is a more generalised form that applies in more situations. Newtonian mechanics is a good approximation at low speeds and high masses, Einsteinian relativity also applies at higher speeds, and Quantum Mechanics applies at even higher speeds and even at tiny masses. That’ll probably be found to be a special case of something else - like Quantum Gravity, or String Theory, or M-Theory, or Quantum Chromodynamics. We’re just working gradually towards a generalised GUT, and each step is more general and more correct than the last. :)

These fit so perfectly I lol’d. :D
 
…but which pony represents Newtonian Mechanics then? AJ? Not as fancy, but works best and most efficiently in everyday situations. :)
