Part 2/10:
At the core of this exploration lies quantum mechanics—the branch of physics that governs the microscopic universe. Unlike the predictable laws of classical physics, particles in the quantum realm behave in counterintuitive ways. They exist as probabilities until observed, can be in multiple places simultaneously, and influence each other instantaneously regardless of distance, a phenomenon called quantum entanglement. Einstein famously referred to this as “spooky action at a distance,” highlighting the interconnectedness that underpins everything.
