But does quantum physics really imply that food has no location and physicists don't need to eat?
No, it's not the best example. But I for one am having trouble thinking of a more accurate one.
If you could easily think of a concept then it wouldn't be an alien concept.
QM makes all previous explanations for eating moot and one might make the rroneous leap that if ones understanding of eating (in terms of places and things and so on) is wrong that eating itself is meaningless. But this confuses the map with the territory.
