Quantum Physics – The Uncertainty Principle

Introduction

In my last post, I described both special and general relativity, in brief. But, as described in the post titled ‘Gravitation and Classical Physics’, that the general theory of relativity is only applicable on objects far larger than atoms, but not on particles and small-sized structure of the universe, that is, general relativity describes the large-scale structure of the universe. Quantum Mechanics or Quantum Physics (or Quantum Theory) is the theory that describes the small-scale structure of the universe. All the quantum physics is based on two principles – the uncertainty principle and the wave-particle duality. In this post these two principles will be discussed.
