CHAPTER

Particles and their Behavior in Classical and Quantum Physics

This chapter discusses the concept of particles and their behavior in classical physics compared to quantum physics, highlighting the counterintuitive nature of quantum mechanics and the debate between different interpretations. It explores thought experiments and real experiments that support the idea that subatomic particles do not have a path before they are measured, and delves into the confusion surrounding the uncertainty principle. The chapter also discusses Schrodinger's cat thought experiment and the concept of quantum entanglement.
