Understanding Quantum Physics: A Simple Guide

Quantum physics might sound daunting, but as Andrea Shulman suggests, it is within everyone's grasp to understand, regardless of traditional academic backgrounds. This guide breaks down the complex concepts of quantum mechanics into simple terms.

Classical vs. Quantum Physics

The differentiation between classical physics and quantum physics is fundamental to grasping the principles of the latter. Classical physics concerns itself with the movement of physical objects, such as how a tennis ball travels through space. For instance, we can predict that if we drop a ball, it will fall to the ground due to gravity, a concept that built on the insights of scientists like Isaac Newton.
