      There is a physics of normal sized objects, like us, which obeys a certain set of rules. Einstein’s laws of relativity deal which thing travelling at or near the speed of light. Quantum mechanics deals with very small things like electrons and photons of light.

      Quantum mechanics is the study of matter and radiation at an atomic level.

      People who study quantum physics like to imagine the world inside atoms and what goes on. They can’t see that small with their eyes so they predict a lot rather than see it happen.
