The Quantum World!

So... what are we really made of?
Dig deep inside the atom
And you'll find tiny particles
Held together by invisible forces.
Everything is made up
Of tiny packets of energy
Born in cosmic furnaces.

The atoms that we're made of have
Negatively charged electrons
Whirling around a big bulky nucleus.
The Quantum Theory
Offers a very different explanation
Of our world.

The universe is made of
Twelve particles of matter
Four forces of nature.

Twelve particles of matter

That's a wonderful and significant story.

Suppose that little things
Behaved very differently
Than anything big.
Nothing's really as it seems.
It's so wonderfully different
Than anything big!

The world is a dynamic mess
Of jiggling things!
It's hard to believe
That Quantum Theory
Is so strange and bizarre
Even Einstein couldn't get his head around it.

In the quantum world,
The world of particles,
Nothing is certain.
It's a world of probabilities.

It's very hard to imagine
All the crazy things
That things really are like
Electrons act like waves.
No they don't exactly.
They act like particles.
No they don't exactly.

We need a theory of everything (need theory of everything)
Which is still just beyond our grasp (still just beyond our grasp)
We need a theory of everything (need theory of everything)
Perhaps the ultimate triumph
The ultimate triumph of science.

I gotta stop somewhere...
I'll leave you something to imagine!
