"Almost as great as this 'value' platypus is another one handled by
the Metaphysics of Quality: the 'scientific reality' platypus. This
is a very large monster that has been disturbing a lot of people for
a long time. It was identified a century ago by the mathematician and
astronomer, Henri Poincare, who asked, 'Why is the reality most
acceptable to science one that no small child can be expected to understand?'
Should reality be something that only a handful of the world's most
advanced physicists understand?"

Hi Marsha,
the way i see it thinking about quantum physics takes place in the
intellectual part of being; even so, there are social and even physical
aspects to that process of thinking.
I am aware of only one representation of particle theoretical physics in a
virtual world - Wizard Ginoids reconstruction of the E8 polytope - probably
various universities are modelling the quantum world virtually also, but i
am not aware of them.
