Quantum lag is the time it takes for changes in the quantum realm to be reflected in reality. Unlike the 'real world', the quantum realm has no equivalent dimensions because the quantum elements are relational. It is only when these elements acquire mass and energy, from which the natural laws are derived, that they can be measured in terms of space and time.
Most of us will only notice quantum lag when the quantum event is experienced immediately prior to its effect in reality, a condition referred to as deja-vu. Less obvious effects are those of intuition and premonition. More disturbing effects involve apparitions, e.g. ghosts, whereby the quantum event is so strong as to appear real even though it never manifests in reality (which is why ghosts cannot be recorded on physical media). Quantum lag also explains why properties of elements in the quantum realm appear to change faster than allowed by the speed of light, referred to as quantum entanglement.

The experience of Quantum Theory. The Particles within a box can be seen as thoughts within oneself. Expending energy and forming our attention towards the thought particle within, can provide a trade of energy because the very attention on a partical brings it into existence and simultaneously adds energy to it, allowing it to form, move and transition into another. This is Quantum Existence and is experienced by putting attention on the process of particle formation and transition into pure energy, resulting in continual human action and transformation, spawed from the root core of human language. This then has its influences all over existence, with a similar pattern that can be seen and conceptually derived from any human awareness. And with this awareness, quantum theory becomes most useful.

'Quantanious Dabadocious' or more commonly known as the 'Quantum Dab' , refers to the action of performing a dab at a speed faster than the speed of light. The quantum dab has long be sought after by scientists who have tried to re -create the phenomenon under lab conditions, however there are very limited recordings throughout history which document a successful quantum dab. The most recent attempt at the quantum dab was by James, 18, Scotland who performed the quantum dab at a record speed of 400,000,000 m/s.
Wow! I can't believe he just quantum dab'd to 'in my feelings'
Omg becky, that guy just pulled off a quantum dab! Thats so fucking hotttt

Almost having sex, but having the universe dick you over in some way. Like, so close that, could you freeze-frame the moment and displace a single electron one nanometer, sex would've occurred.
Guy1: She was totally into it, but wanted to wait until the next day to do it for the first time. Then she got back together with her boyfriend the next morning.
Guy2: Shoulda sealed the deal that night.
Guy1: Yeah, I got quantum-fucked.

The principal features of quantum theory contradict "cause and effect" relationships (relativity) by assuming that random, spontaneous events can and do occur within a quantified limit (specified by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle). Therefore, a future event (or non-event) has both a multiple probability (statistical) and a quantum probability of 50/50 that is not predictable.
As the observer is outside the event horizon, there exists two realities; that is , a state of existing (or being) and that of not existing.
Just as it may be that one dies, one does not "know" when one dies; the quantum state would be both dead and alive while the relative state would be dead or alive.
An again, reality is based on the perceptive analysis of the observer; at any given time the observer is outside the event horizon and is in the present or the past.
However, there is an relativistic assumption that there exists a continuum for all sets, but this cannot be made from a quantum state.

Quantum reality transmutates the objective into the subjective, and the phyical into the metaphysical.

A physics term describing the movement of an electron withing an atom from one energy state to another without passing through any intermediate levels. It was adopted into popular slang to refer to a sudden advance (especially in science or technology) that seems much more rapid than the normal evolution in that field. The term may also denote sudden, positive social shifts.
Leslie Iwerks produced the first synchronized-sound cartoon, "Steamboat Willie," which represented a quantum leap forward in animation technology.
The Gutenberg press, an invention featuring moveable type, represented a quantum leap forward for people in the 15th century.
Email represented a quantum leap forward in productivity in the 1990s.

When a person is either being sarcastic, albeit very dryly, or being serious and the person they are talking to can not tell whether or not they are being sarcastic or serious. They could be simultaneously serious or sarcastic at the exact same moment in time, thus quantum sarcasm.
Guy takes another man's sandwich and the man whose sandwich has been taken says "Go ahead and take it." in an inflected voice and direct stare. An uncomfortable moment passes because the man who took sandwich is now not sure of whether the other man is serious or is sarcastically remarking on the situation. Thus quantum sarcasm because sarcasm or seriousness are both equally valid options at the moment.
