what is quntum physic

Question

anonymous · Answer

uantum physics is a branch of science that deals with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta as described by the Quantum Theory. There are five main ideas represented in Quantum Theory:

    Energy is not continuous, but comes in small but discrete units. 1
    The elementary particles behave both like particles and like waves. 2
    The movement of these particles is inherently random. 3
    It is physically impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time. The more precisely one is known, the less precise the measurement of the other is.4
    The atomic world is nothing like the world we live in. 5

Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level

Mownica pretty much said it all.  Let me stress number five, though.  The quantum world is NOTHING like the macro world that we live in.  So much to the point that when you deal with certain subjects that it totally flutters with your intuition and will totally make you reevaluate the way that the world around you work and if you search hard enough, you'll start to question your very existence.  

Have fun.  :D

There is a magnificent Feynman lecture - of only about fifty minutes, as I remember - that "explains" QP. It is nearly fifty years old but is still a great place to start. It is now online. Search for "Feynman Project Tuva". Lecture 6 is the one you want. "Remember the experiment with the two holes?" The experiment with the two holes is everything a non-specialist will ever need to know about QP.
