Tell me anyting (about quantum physics anyway) cuz it will be more than i know now
thanks =)

Classical Physics provides a great framework for describing the macroscopic world around us. However, when things get too small or too fast, those laws break down. For example, if you try to apply the laws of gravity to electrons orbiting a nucleus, then the electrons would crash into their nucleus, and matter would cease to exist.
So a new set of laws needed to be developed to describe what happens at these levels. Things get very weird and counter intuitive when you examine what happens on that level.
If you would like to learn more, this is an excellent resource for non scientists.

Einstein explained many things in this universe ... gave us the atom bomb ... which he didn't want, but it was the result of scientific truth.
But, he wanted a unified field theory, which would explain the behavior of stars and atoms with one understanding.
At the same time Niels Bohr and other brilliant physicists were figuring out the understanding of the sub atomic world. It seemed to behave differently than planets and stars.
For one thing it defies time. You can shoot a particle at another particle and it will be hit right before you shot it .
Welcome to Quantum physics. I can't explain it all to you here, but look out String Theory is next.
Then you're really in trouble.
Yours truly;
Jonnie
PS Hope I helped.

Quantum physics is the branch of Physics which deals with very small particles like electrons, atoms and nucleus and their energies.

Basically, it states that everything is based on probability, and replaces the older, deterministic viewpoint, which used to permit such concepts as "destiny", and "fate". Go to the Google and Wikipedia websites and enter "quantum physics" and "Schrodinger's cat"

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental branch of theoretical physics with wide applications in experimental physics that replaces classical mechanics and classical electromagnetism at the atomic and subatomic levels.
Hows that?

Shamanism is an historic conception usually linked with tribal societies and frequently concerning animism. i've got faith she makes a connexion between the unpredictability of matter and the consumer-friendly religious nature of the universe, yet i'm in simple terms guessing. except she solutions the question herself, it particularly is in all probability as close as you will get. by how, i think of she rocks!

It's how Sam and Al leap from one place to another to make right which once went wrong. I only wish his next leap...will be the leap home. I would wish my next leap to be into some dude with a hot girlfriend.
