Quantum mechanics underlies physical laws from "summary" of Storm in a Teacup by Helen Czerski
At the heart of the universe lies a hidden order, a set of rules that govern everything from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies. These rules are not arbitrary or random, but rather they form the very foundation of reality as we know it. Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that seeks to understand this fundamental order, to unravel the mysteries of the universe and reveal the underlying laws that govern its behavior. It is a theory that defies intuition, that challenges our most basic assumptions about the nature of reality. But despite its complexity and its counterintuitive nature, quantum mechanics is the cornerstone of modern physics. It is the framework upon which all other physical theories are built, the bedrock upon which our understanding of the universe rests. From the behavior of individual particles to the structure of atoms and molecules, from the dynamics of light and matter to the nature of time and space, quantum mechanics underlies everything we know about the physical world. It provides the theoretical underpinning for all of the laws of physics, from the laws of motion to the laws of thermodynamics, from the laws of relativity to the laws of quantum electrodynamics. In short, quantum mechanics is the key that unlocks the secrets of the universe, the Rosetta Stone that allows us to decipher the language of nature. Without it, we would be lost in a sea of chaos, unable to make sense of the world around us. But with it, we are able to glimpse the underlying order that governs the cosmos, to see the patterns and connections that lie beneath the surface of reality.
