The Nature of Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of particles at a subatomic level. It challenges our classical understanding of reality by introducing concepts such as wave-particle duality and the measurement problem. While physicists have mastered the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics, the underlying nature of the theory remains a mystery.
