If you were to ask the average person to tell you everything they know or understand about quantum mechanics, you would probably get a short list of facts. Quantum mechanics is a very obscure field. It’s so obscure that even some of it’s “experts” aren’t sure about everything that goes on in that field. In the grand scheme of science and everyday life, our lives are always being touched by science. anything that uses a computer, anything using electricity, even the food we eat are all related to some kind of science. but then there is the field of quantum mechanics. Does quantum mechanics affect our everyday lives? Not really. It’s more of a science of curiosity. We don’t really know what goes on inside atoms and what answers to our questions may lie inside them, but do we need this knowledge to continue living? Probably not. Any physicist with a concentration in quantum mechanics will surely refute my claims of it being a useless or baseless science, but what it comes right down to is practicality. Does quantum physics hold the answer to any of our major scientific questions? Is it the key to solving any of our major problems? Can it help revolutionize the world and the way we live? It most likely will not.
