There is probably no area of science more bizarre and confusing than trying to understand the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales. In the early part of the twentieth century, physicists such as Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and many others laid the foundation for understanding this bizarre realm of nature: quantum physics.
The equations and methods of quantum physics have been refined over the last century, making astounding predictions that have been confirmed more precisely than any other scientific theory in the history of the world.
Quantum mechanics works by performing an analysis on the quantum wavefunction(defined by an equation called the Schroedinger equation).
The problem is that the rule about how the quantum wavefunction work seem to drastically conflict with the intuitions we have developed to understand our day-to-day macroscopic world. Trying to understand the underlying meaning of quantum physics has proven to be much more difficult than understanding the behaviors themselves. The most commonly-taught interpretation is known as the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics … but what is it really?
