Next: Hermeneutics of Classical General Up: Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards Previous: Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards It is not my intention to enter here into the extensive debate on the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. Suffice it to say that anyone who has seriously studied the equations of quantum mechanics will assent to Heisenberg's measured (pardon the pun) summary of his celebrated uncertainty principle: We can no longer speak of the behaviour of the particle independently of the process of observation.

As a final consequence, the natural laws formulated mathematically in quantum theory no longer deal with the elementary particles themselves but with our knowledge of them. Nor is it any longer possible to ask whether or not these particles exist in space and time objectively ... Along the same lines, Niels Bohr wrote: An independent reality in the ordinary physical sense can ... neither be ascribed to the phenomena nor to the agencies of observation. Personal and Historical Perspectives of Hans Bethe. Quantum Physics. Quantum Physics What it is? Quantum physics is a branch of science that deals with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta as described by the Quantum Theories. Quantum physics invloves the study of the realm of the very small, at the atomic and subatomic level, such as electrons, photons and quarks.

Therefore, it’s operating at the below-cell level of the body. Quantum Physics is also the study of the forces that act on atomic and subatomic entities. There are 4 forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force (binds particles in the atom’s nucleus) and the weak force (responsible for radioactive/beta decay). Quantum Physics also studies the fields through which forces move. Standard quantum physics has three primary areas of focus: Quantum mechanics: The study of the structure and behavior of subatomic particles. Quantum Physics Models:There is not one quantum theory, but many theories, each interpreting the same body of experimental facts: Quantum Weirdness 1. Bells theorem. Epr paradox. Entanglement theory.
