Even protons and neutrons seem to be made of smaller particles called quarks. Like these dolls, even the tiniest things seem to contain smaller parts.(© 2010 HowStuffWorks.com) This grim-looking fellow is theoretical physicist Max Planck, the original architect of quantum theory.

Schrodinger's cat helped illustrate a seemingly paradoxical reading of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

Many people don't even consider it might be true. In fact, as the ship sunk into the Atlantic in 1912, eight musicians did play music instead of hurrying into lifeboats.
Beyond that, and the fact that none of the band survived, little is known for sure – especially why they did it [source: Boltz].

French military leaders quickly found what seemed like a perfect way to weasel out of the mess. They framed an obscure army officer, Capt.
