What is Quantum Theory and Why Do Electrons Orbit at Specific Distances?

quantum brain · Dec 15, 2008

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?
