mLine 1:
Line 1: − + − − The fundamental principle of quantum mechanics is that there is an uncertainty in the location of a subatomic particle until attention is focused on it by observing its location.
copy edit intro
'''Quantum mechanics''' is the branch of [[physics]] that describes the behavior of systems on very small length and energy scales, such as those found in [[atom]]ic and subatomic interactions. It is essential for understanding certain concepts that [[classical physics]] cannot explain, such as the discrete nature of small-scale interactions, [[wave-particle duality]], the [[uncertainty principle]], and [[quantum entanglement]]. Quantum mechanics forms the basis for our understanding of many phenomena, including [[chemical reaction]]s and [[radioactive decay]], as well as all [[computer]]s and electronic devices today.

'''''The order created by [[God]] is on a foundation of [[uncertainty]]'''''. The [[Book of Genesis]] explains that the world was an abyss of [[chaos]] at the moment of [[creation]]. Quantum mechanics is predicted in several additional respects by the [[Biblical_scientific_foreknowledge#Quantum_mechanics|Biblical scientific foreknowledge]].

The name "Quantum Mechanics" comes from the idea that energy is transmitted in discrete quanta, and not continuous. Another historical name for "quantum mechanics" was "wave mechanics."
