Exploring the Quantum Theory and Electron Orbital Distances

In summary, the quantum theory is a theory about coherent particles while classical physics is a theory about decoherent particles. The quantum theory helps explain how our universe is created from basic material, the sizes of protons after the big bang, and the distance between electrons and the nucleus.

can anyone please explain in detail what the quantum theory is and how it is different from normal physics?

There are millions of good books and web sites.

And why is not quantum physics "normal" physics?

About the difference between the quantum theory and classics physics, I think that quantum physics is a theory about coherent particle, and classics physics is a theory about decoherent particle.

how our universe is created from some basic material ? after big bang why protons are of particuler sizes ? after some time why protons oppose its material? why electrons are at particuler distance from nuclease?

They are?

1. What is quantum theory?

Quantum theory is a fundamental theory in physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It explains how these particles behave and interact with each other, and has revolutionized our understanding of the universe.

2. What are the key principles of quantum theory?

The key principles of quantum theory include superposition, which states that a particle can exist in multiple states simultaneously, and wave-particle duality, which describes the dual nature of particles as both particles and waves. It also includes the uncertainty principle, which states that it is impossible to know the exact position and momentum of a particle at the same time.

3. How does quantum theory differ from classical physics?

Quantum theory differs from classical physics in that it is based on probabilistic behavior rather than determinism. In classical physics, the behavior of particles can be predicted with certainty, while in quantum theory, the behavior of particles is described by probabilities.

4. How is quantum theory applied in real-life situations?

Quantum theory is applied in many real-life situations, including in the development of new technologies such as transistors and lasers. It also plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of materials, chemical reactions, and the properties of matter at the atomic level.

5. What are some common misconceptions about quantum theory?

Some common misconceptions about quantum theory include the idea that it only applies to very small particles, when in fact it can also be applied to larger objects. Another misconception is that quantum theory is just a theory, when in fact it has been extensively tested and is considered one of the most successful theories in physics.
