Quantum Mechanics.

Ok, I was being a smartalleck. It deals with "waves and particles" on a macro, not micro, but macroscopic level. Example: ripples on a lake, there is no "net" transport of water therefore no transport of mass, however there is a transport of energy. I don't think anyone on earth "fully" understands quantum mechanics because in the world of quantum mechanics, things can change in an instant. Particles such as electrons can behave like waves such as light, and vice versa. This is a pretty basic explanation, but I hope it helps.

Quantum mechanics describes the World om terms of quantum fields, rather than in terms of particles and waves.

In classical physics, a particle (such as an electron) has well-defined location and velocity. In quantum mechnics, the particle is replaced by a quantum field which describes the probability of finding the particle in various positions and with various velocities.

Quantum mechanics is necesary to explain phenomena at atomic scale. For example, without quantum mechanics you can't give a good explanation of why electrons can only be in specific orbits around the nucleaus of an atom.

Quantum mechanics deals about study and applications of physical laws at molecular as well as atomic level. Quantum mechanics was first studied by Einstein. Theory of relativity was initiated by this comcept wave nature of light was explained by quantum mechanics.

There are many interpretations of quantum physics.
American physicist J.A.Wheeler had a hobby:
He collected different interpretations of quantum physics.
Here is one more interpretation of the quantum theory.
