This weekend I read pages 64-72 in my book, The Quantum Moment. This book is all about the uncertainty of quantum, and other things in our lives, and how we can relate this science of physics to philosophy. How uncertain is uncertain? Pretty uncertain. Why? because of laws like The Heisenberg uncertainty principle. which states that we cannot know both the location of an electron and it's momentum.
Not only did I read a bit of philosophy in this section, but more about the science of electrons. It was fun to relate some of the knowledge in the book to my chemistry class, and how the electrons in an atom move on levels of energy, called orbitals, where they orbit the nucleus. This knowledge illustrates the action of an electron, and allows readers like me to see where the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle come into play. It's a dense book, but I am excited to keep reading!
