the (very sweary) tale of quantum mechanics

Physics was supposed to be simple. Newton, Huygens, and Young thought they had it all figured out—gravity, motion, light. But then, quantum mechanics arrived like a cosmic wrecking ball, smashing through classical physics and leaving us with a universe that’s weird as hell. So, strap in as we take a no-nonsense (and very sweary) journey through the madness that is quantum mechanics.
