Isn't this obvious Walter, Someone had to make it all! ;)
People don't learn more about quantum physics because the faculties necessary don't exist in the general population.
I was listening to a radio ad the other day, a pro-female advertisement. It went something like this:
Daughter: Why is the sky blue daddy?
Father: To match your beautiful eyes my sweetheart.
Daugher: Nope, because blue wavelength light that enters the atmosphere is scattered much more than the reds, and other colors of the spectrum, making the sky appear blue.
Father: ohhh, how did you know that. (The father obviously did not know the answer)
Daughter: Mommy told me.
Announcer: Little girls need a andequate education too, etc....
The point of the commercial should be obvious, and it's a good point. But even deeper is the reality that the mind simply does not grasp such a conclusion - there is no correlation with survival needs, hence, the brain does not intuitivly know and it takes a deliberate question to get to the answer. Why go to all that work when the answer "Because X made it this way" will work in 90% of the cases or more.
