24. The Quantum Revolution
- Involves: Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Physics, Quantum Theory, & Quantum Field Theory
Albert Einstein did not just speak to one theory during his life, oh no. In fact, most of the Quantum Revolution is thanks to him. There are a lot of “Quantum” names for stuff, but the ones we make mention above are all pretty much the same thing. Normal Physics was not enough to describe everything, as it caught things at the macro level. Quantum Physics explains the macro level of things too, but it also explains the micro.

This involves things at both the atomic and subatomic levels. Regular Physics and Quantum Physics also differ in that Quantum believes any quantity of a bound system is restricted to discrete values, and objects have characteristics based on waves & particles. They believe there are limits to how accurate the value of a physical quantity one can predict before its measurement combines with its initial conditions. We refer to this as the “Uncertainty Principle.”
