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 t...
