Just A Quantum Thought...

Heard of Quantum Mechanics? You might have heard it but think little of it because it sounds terribly complicated and unrelated to daily life.

And you are right: it's so mind-boggling that even Albert Einstein (named as the greatest physicist of all time) had problems with it, and of course, life goes on even if you can't understand its equations.

But I think everyone should know a bit more about it because it might affect one's orientation towards religion which, in turn, would completely change one's life.

Quantum Mechanics was conceived in 1838 but only received wide attention in the 20th and 21st centuries because it was experimentally proven to be able to explain physical phenomena at the atomic level more accurately than two of the most successful theories known to mankind: Einstein's General Relativity and Newton's Classical Mechanics.

In simple layman terms, Quantum Mechanics tells us that no physical phenomenon is certain until being observed, eg. the computer screen you're looking at now may not exist if you're not conscious of it; science can no longer explain the mystery of life with certainty.

Quantum Mechanics reveals how unimaginably mysterious the universe is - there is more than meets the eye. So think again before you decide that religion is not your cup of tea...

Then again, I believe I had heard that the act of observation itself would affect outcomes because it would introduce a scanning force into the observed data zone.
