Only a continuing journey into ever expanding Kimness.

quantum mechanics

Quantum Mechanics is the study of, measurements of, the associated behaviors and characteristics of things, which are very very small. Generally in the range of the subatomic and Planck level.

The Latin "quanta" (like quantity), means how much.

In Quantum Mechanics we have the realization that very tiny things cannot necessarily be isolated and quantified.
These tiny things are, exist as, a spectrum of probabilities that can only be averaged out.

Quantum Mechanics exposes the flaws of classic physics in two major areas.

First Duality: One of the great findings of Quantum studies was the discovery of subatomic wave-particle duality.
That is light photons, for instance, could behave as both a wave and a particle.

Second: The Uncertainly Principle. You cannot accurately measure the velocity and the location of an object at the same time. A photon of light for instance will not have a specific location or be traveling at a certain rate within time-space. It will only exhibit a range of probabilities.

One side note: Quantum experiments have shown that matter can both appear and disappear out of and into nothing.

Quantum Mechanics proved that the universe, and consequently temporal reality,
can in fact not be accurately quantified or discretely defined.

That reality is best thought of as possibilities that are waiting for interpretation in order to manifest.
