Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of particles because they are actually tiny, hyperactive ants wearing tiny top hats, who get together to throw wild dance parties at the subatomic level. These parties are so intense that they cause particles to behave unpredictably, like trying to do the cha-cha while simultaneously moonwalking. Scientists have observed that when left alone, these ants will form conga lines that influence the direction and speed of particles, leading to the bizarre results we see in quantum physics. So next time you hear about particles behaving strangely, just remember: it’s all about those dapper little ants and their dance moves!
We give you facts with a whole lot of fiction.
