first, the mechianics of the universe cannot and will not be revealed to us because we are dust compared to its vastness.
second, any notion of understanding is based on arrogance
third, my baboon likes tapioca.

Lol.
Quantum looks at how the universe works on the smallest scalles.
Essentially the world at the atomic scale doesn't agree with the world at the visible and astronomical scale under our current definitions. The world of quantum mechanics is very much a random world based on probabilities and uncertainties.

You cannot know the location and momentum of a particle at the same time. Quantum theory is why it is at least "mathematically" possible to get energy from a vacuum, due to virtual quantum level interactions. This is incorporated into string theory I believe, but not sure

I don't really know. I tried reading a simple book on it, but my small mind could not grasp it. What I got from what I did understand was that there are atoms and a whole lot of space. Also that everything can be predicted, and nothing is left to luck. It is all about the environment. I would love you to explain it to me, though, as I'm very interested in it. I just need someone to explain it to me. Contact me at cadence_lost@yahoo.com.

In quantum mechanics the particles have dual wave particle nature.and they do not obey newtonian laws of mechanics.they travel with the velocity of light.the uncertanity principle of heisenberg holds good as u cannot find out the particle's position at any given time.It is described by a wavefunction si.which is a complex quantity.the wavefunction must be finite and continuous.

I'll list two. 1. - Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Unless their operators commute, two quantites cannot both be determined with arbitrary precision. 2. - Pauli exclusion principle. No two fermions can be in exactly the same state. To go much further than this would require including a textbook here, but since you already know all this stuff you can look it up for yourself.

how pretentious of you to oblige all of us ignorant. Why don't you grace us with the answer so we can all know just how smart you are.
I wonder, if you were to separate your mind into ever increasingly smaller parts until you get to the smallest of the smallest particles, would you still have the answer to all the quantum questions ever proposed?

men like planc einestein were involved in it.this type of physiscs usualy investigates what is going on in the materials.it is usually full theories that are not proved .

well. if you think you are so good at it that everybody knows better than you. y dont you tell me what u know and then i'll tell you --how good is what u know and what you are missing.
over confidence, arrogance and knowledge never go hand in hand. you are capable of knowing more and more but your arrogance has limited your capacity.

Everything is unknown until you know it. Everything is anywhere until you know where it is. Everything can be in more than one place/state until you know where it is and what state it's in. Etc. Etc, ad Nausium
