DEFINITION OF QUANTUM PHYSICS
Definition of quantum physics will discuss various terminologies associated with quantum physics. It will walk the fine line between simplistic and complicated. Words and phrases such as quantum event, quantum physics, and others will be presented in an easy-to-understand format.
DEFINITION OF QUANTUM PHYSICS: what is a quantum event?
This page will
talk about what a quantum event is and illustrate the concept with examples. In
contemporary language, an event is something that happens in everyday life. A
classical event is something that happens in our everyday experience such as
cars on the road, walking, running, and other miscellaneous occurrences. A
quantum event is something that happens in the mini world of atoms and
molecules. This little world plays by different rules than our normal world,
which is what makes quantum physics interesting and exciting. Click here to read about quantum events.
DEFINITION OF QUANTUM PHYSICS: WHAT DOES QUANTUM PHYSICS MEAN?
This is a thorough discussion of the meaning of quantum physics. I first dissect the meaning of the phrase quantum by using the dictionary. It is then connected to various concepts of quantum physics such as the discretization of energy and how small quantum objects are. We then wrap up by briefly discussing how to deepen your knowledge of quantum physics. Click here to read for more information.
DEFINITION OF QUANTUM PHYSICS: QUANTUM PHYSICS VS CLASSICAL PHYSICS
This page compares and contrasts classical and quantum physics. As a sneak peek, classical physics deals with how our everyday life works. It studies everyday and mundane phenomena such as how cars move and how pool balls collide with each other. It even examines how celestial objects such as the sun, planets and stars orbit each other and how they move. In contrast, quantum physics as stated earlier in this section is the physics of the very small. It is the physics that governs how atoms and molecules operate. Quantum physics is more abstract and counterintuitive due to how removed from everyday experience it is.
DEFINITION OF QUANTUM PHYSICS: QUANTUM PHYSICS DEFINITION FOR KIDS
This gives kids a basic understanding of what quantum physics is. If you look closely, this page is very different in tone than the rest of my website. It is more informal and a lot less serious. It is intended to appeal to anyone from young kids to teenagers. Thus, the informal language is meant to facilitate understanding and garner interest in this sometimes difficult-to-understand subject matter. Although the young people who visit this page may never become interested, I hope they at least see that quantum physics has a lot of breadth and depth to it.
