Quantum mechanics is often described as "weird" or "strange" – it introduces a new way of thinking about the nature of reality.



It is a departure from our classical understanding of the physical universe and the nature of reality.



Let's take the case of probability waves. Quantum particles, such as electrons, are described by probability distributions, meaning all we can know is the likelihood of finding a particle in various regions of space. This injects an element of unpredictability, marking a departure from our familiar realm of determinism.



The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle asserts an intrinsic limit to our ability to precisely know certain pairs of properties of a particle simultaneously. For instance, the more accurately we determine a particle's position, the less precisely we can know its momentum.



Wave-particle duality is another concept contributing to the quantum weirdness. Particles, such as photons and electrons, display both particle-like and wave-like behaviors. This duality contradicts our classical intuition, where objects are either particles or waves, not both simultaneously.



Quantum entanglement, a phenomenon where particles become correlated in ways suggesting instantaneous communication regardless of distance, further adds to the quantum peculiarities.



While these quantum phenomena may seem counterintuitive, experiments repeatedly confirm their validity. It does sound strange when we think about it in terms of our everyday experiences and classical intuition. The concepts of quantum mechanics, including the idea that electrons exist as probability distributions, challenge our conventional understanding of the world around us.



For example, in the perception of solid objects, it is actually the interplay between light and the quantum nature of electrons within atoms. While there is a significant amount of empty space within atoms, the interactions between photons and electrons, governed by quantum mechanics, create the macroscopic appearance of solidity and distinct visual properties.



It is the collective behavior of countless electrons that contributes to phenomena like reflection, giving the appearance of a solid surface.



It is even strange that electrons move to higher energy states or to lower energy states by jumping from one level to another. This is because only specific energy levels are allowed.



Vision is our main connect to the physical world around us, and in the context of seeing the physical world, it is a complex process involving the interaction of light with matter. Light interacts with the atoms and molecules in the body, and the way it scatters and is absorbed contributes to our ability to see.



We have learned in high school that the majority of an atom's volume is considered empty space. However, at an advanced level, it's important to note that this doesn't mean the space is devoid of any physical entities. The electrons, despite being tiny, contribute to the overall mass of the atom, and their movements give rise to the atom's properties.



When we extend this concept to the human body, which is composed of atoms, it follows that a significant portion of the body is considered empty space. However, the perception of the human body as a solid entity is due to the interactions and forces between atoms and molecules.



At the core is vibration that creates the phenomena of the physical world. This vibration, whose source, science is yet unclear about gives rise to a spiraling motion. This spiral can be envisioned as a dynamic and evolving pattern, giving rise to the diverse structures and processes observed in the universe. Our intent can program this spiral.
