What is Quantum Physics?
Quantum 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.
- The elementary particles behave both like particles and like waves.
- The movement of these particles is inherently random.
- 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
- The atomic world is nothing like the world we live in.
While at a glance this may seem like just another strange theory, it contains many clues as to the fundamental nature of the universe and is more important then even relativity in the grand scheme of things (if any one thing at that level could be said to be more important then anything else). Furthermore, it describes the nature of the universe as being much different then the world we see. As Niels Bohr said, “Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it.”

Some people claim #Marines are all #muscles & no #brain I beg to differ. #Marines serving our #community through #service #projects or #tutoring keep up the #great #work #devildogs
How genius, you need a brain to tutor 7-year-olds.

Great, informative video.
Which on a side note highlights once again the backward-ness of the United States.
catcher in a rye: How to Get a Girl/Guy With Economics
- You’ve got the curves to supply my demand!
- I hope interest rates are low, because I want to invest my time in you.
- Please tell me your heart’s like a perfect competition instead of a monopoly, so that there is less barrier for me to enter.
- There are no diminishing returns with you.
- I promise…
Awesome post full of genius, economists for the freaking win hahahaha
