Quantum Mechanics is both very intriguing and very confusing. First, I must answer the most commonly asked question about quantum mechanics, what is it? Quantum mechanics is the study of the radioactivity and physics of atoms. Another question you may have is why classical mechanics will not apply to atoms. This answer is simple, classical mechanics is imperfect. Quantum mechanics apply to all matter, and so does classical mechanics except for on an atomic level, so the much easier classical mechanics are still used for larger matter even though they are altogether incorrect. There are many things that quantum mechanics can explain that classical mechanics cannot. The first of these is that light acts as both a wave and a light. Quantum mechanics explains that light actually exists as a particle, but the probability of the position of the photon is
