Quantum Mechanics

akabir26 — 2024-10-07 13:01:36 UTC

Quantum mechanics explores the properties and behaviors of the building blocks of nature. They examine very small things like electrons and photons. Quantum Mechanics began around the 1900s.

Oppenheimer's work builds a base for our understanding of the universe and how even the microscopic things make up the world and the universe.

To explain to a young person, you could say, quantum mechanics explores how the world around us works and how it is formed.

His work at Los Alamos and Project Y created a new community of the brightest minds in science and made a new branch of people that can contribute their works and create and find new things. His work at Los Alamos built a base for new atomic weapons.
