It becomes even more complicated when you realize that the particle has to follow the laws of quantum physics, which allow it be in two or more places at the same time through a phenomenon called superposition. Understanding how a quantum particle behaves is necessary to enhance our fundamental understanding of the laws of physics.

From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep we are afloat in physics. The opposite of that is also true; from the moment we go to sleep to the moment we wake up. The question is why there is such a large disconnect in our society to a greater degree to engage or at least try to understand this fundamental science that explores the very fiber of reality?
