Physics Summary
Classical vs. Quantum Mechanics
To a certain extent, we have an intuitive understanding of classical mechanics. Objects in the real world are affected by forces - measurable amounts of energy used to do some work.
We understand that in order to pick up a chair, it takes more work than picking up a pen. It's clearly that things that weigh more (or posses more mass) take more energy to move. The exact nature of these relationships can and have been quantified.
The way that very, very, very small things act isn't like this at all - and it's not intuitive. It is, in fact, super weird. In this chapter we'll cover a basic understanding of exactly how and why it's so weird.
