Looking at physical phenomena at microscopic scales, where the action is tiny.
Quantum theory governs the universe at its most basic level. In the first half of the 20th century physics was turned on its head by the radical discoveries of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schroedinger. An entire new logical and mathematical foundation---quantum mechanics---eventually replaced classical ...
