This is about the tiniest thing inside of you, right now.

I’ve been trying to learn more about Quantum Mechanics, specifically the String Theory.

To put it simply, here are some things about things.

Tiny Particles: Quantum mechanics is like a set of rules that explains how really tiny particles, like electrons and photons (light particles), behave. Of course, these are really tiny.  Like. Quarks make up atoms.  That small.

Weird Rules: In the tiny world of quantum mechanics, particles can do strange things. For example, they can be in two places at once, or they can act like both particles and waves. It’s not like the big things we see every day.  Which is amazing to me because these tiny particles make up the big things.

Entanglement: If two particles are entangled, it means that no matter how far apart they are, if something happens to one particle, the other one “knows” about it instantly. It’s like having a magic connection between them.  I love this part.

Uncertainty: There’s a special rule called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which says that we can’t know everything about a particle at once. For example, if we know where a particle is, we can’t know exactly how fast it’s going, and vice versa.  And that makes it all tricky.

So, as tricky as it gets, I’ll keep on with this tomorrow. I think this is my first “To Be Continued….”
