This sentence contains a quantum superposition of all possible true statements about quantum mechanics, and thus contains everything there is to know about quantum mechanics, but you cannot look at it without collapsing the wavefunction and yielding a random true statement about quantum mechanics, which will probably be very interesting, but doesn't tell you everything there is to know.
By the way, try not to look at the previous sentence.

Richard Feynman won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in Quantum Mechanics, specifically Quantum Electrodynamics. He is reported to have said:"If you think you understand Quantum Mechanics, you don't understand Quantum Mechanics" His point is, even Nobel Prize winning physicists don't understand Quantum Mechanics. But to answer your question, Quantum Mechanics holds the premise that on the smallest levels that we can observe, the universe is "grainy" meaning not smooth. It is sort of like looking at a glass surface in tinier and tinier quantities, and it seems smooth until you get down to the atomic or subatomic level and then you will see that it is really very lumpy bumpy. That is Quantum Mechanics in a nutshell.

Quantum mechanics suggests that the rules of physics we understand and use everyday are valid only in in some parts of the various dimensions of the universe.

SRT and Quantum theory only explain
the behaviour of Light Quantum.
============
American physicist J.A.Wheeler had a hobby:
He collected different interpretations of quantum physics.
Here is one more interpretation of the quantum theory.

Ummm quantum mechanics looks at the structure and behavior of the atom and of subatomic particles from the view that all energy comes in tiny, invisible bundles!

Quantum Mechanics is really really hard to understand.

Quantum mechanics itself has no longer claimed it suitable. It purely provides an extra measurement to the understanding obtained for that reason a techniques. 'God' (I advise the 1st reason) isn't immediately in the back of any element and each thing in this universe. At maximum suitable he (it) is in basic terms an capability service and gadget dressmaker. The movements are finished with the aid of the contributors of the universe and get the effect in accordance to the gadget of the God (first reason). enable us to no longer consequently waste time thinking approximately God as though he's our opponent. enable us to bypass forward thinking what we are in a position to extra usefully do. this is the reason the classic Indians weren't into passionate non secular practice. They indulged in Karma yoga and gnaana yoga. this is doing their maximum suitable to the worldwide they belonged to and procuring expertise for which there is not any end.

The Schrodinger equation governs the time-evolution of the universe's wavefunction.

If you really want to know look up "the string theory" or for a easier way to understand watch a movie called "What the Bleep do we Know".

Might as well ask "tell me why I am stupid in 10000 words".
