I agree to some extent. I didn't even relate the idea of absurdity with the contradiction to Newtonian physics that quantum physics is when I read The Myth of Sisyphus. However, I think your example is a brilliant one because that is perhaps the most fundamental manifestation of the absurdity of the world. (as far as I can think)


I suppose I read it as simply Camus' realization that humans expect the world to behave in certain ways (based on "common" logic), but it rarely does. In other words, it is about the realization that there is no objective reality as a way to understand the world and our place in it.

My interpretation was certainly less meaningful than yours, or at least less specific and concrete.


Thank you for your insight my friend. If you ever feel like writing more on philosophy, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
