Comparing Newtonian & Quantum Physics: Resources & Sites

In summary, Newtonian physics is a classical, deterministic theory that describes macroscopic objects, while quantum physics is a probabilistic theory for subatomic particles. Newtonian principles do not apply to the quantum world, and space and time are absolute in Newtonian physics but intertwined in quantum physics. Useful resources for learning include textbooks, online courses, and scientific journals. The discoveries in Quantum Physics have greatly impacted our understanding of the universe and led to new technologies.

just do ao google search. They usually have real good sources and sites.
 

1. What is the difference between Newtonian and Quantum Physics?

Newtonian physics is a classical, deterministic theory that describes the motion of macroscopic objects in the observable world, while quantum physics is a modern, probabilistic theory that describes the behavior of subatomic particles.

2. Can the principles of Newtonian physics be applied to the quantum world?

No, the laws of Newtonian physics do not apply to the quantum world. Quantum mechanics uses a different set of principles and equations to describe the behavior of particles at the subatomic level.

3. How do the concepts of space and time differ in Newtonian and Quantum Physics?

In Newtonian physics, space and time are absolute and separate entities. However, in quantum physics, space and time are intertwined and can be affected by the presence of mass or energy.

4. Can you provide some resources for further learning about Newtonian and Quantum Physics?

Some useful resources for learning more about Newtonian and Quantum Physics include textbooks, online courses, and scientific journals. Some recommended websites include Khan Academy, MIT OpenCourseWare, and the American Physical Society's PhysicsCentral.

5. How have the discoveries in Quantum Physics impacted our understanding of the universe?

The discoveries in Quantum Physics have revolutionized our understanding of the universe. They have helped us to better explain the behavior of subatomic particles, understand the nature of light and energy, and develop new technologies such as computers and medical imaging devices.
