The strange behavior of particles from "summary" of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli
Particles, those tiny fundamental constituents of the universe, exhibit behavior that defies our everyday intuitions. They are not like the objects we encounter in our macroscopic world. Instead, particles exist in a realm governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, a domain where the rules of classical physics no longer apply.
In the quantum world, particles can exhibit properties that seem paradoxical and contradictory. For example, a particle can exist in multiple states simultaneously, a phenomenon known as superposition. This means that a particle can be in two places at once or possess two different energies at the same time. Such behavior challenges our common sense notions of how objects should behave.
Furthermore, particles can also exhibit a strange interconne...
