If Americans want their country to maintain any degree of competition in the world the study of science is paramount to that end.
This picture is Albert Einstein's desk the day of his death. There is no retirement to the ordered mind. Social Security, yes, but retirement, no. Of all the shelves on that wall I like the fifth from the top on the right side. It is where he kept his subscription to a peer reviewed journal. There was no doubt in his mind it was important to keep them in an arranged order that was easy to find.
Every student should be so engaged in their studies. Football may make money for a university, but, its students should be its priority. Emotional and sexual trauma doesn't fall into those priorities.
Quantum mechanics, science
dealing with the behaviour of matter and light on the atomic and
subatomic scale. It attempts to describe and account for the properties of molecules and atoms and their constituents—electrons, protons, neutrons, and other more esoteric particles such as quarks and gluons. These properties include the interactions of the particles with one another and with electromagnetic radiation (i.e., light, X-rays, and gamma rays).
Three revolutionary principles (click here)
Quantum mechanics (QM) developed over many decades, beginning as a set of controversial mathematical explanations of experiments that the math of classical mechanics could not explain. It began at the turn of the 20th century, around the same time that Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity, a separate mathematical revolution in physics that describes the motion of things at high speeds. Unlike relativity, however, the origins of QM cannot be attributed to any one scientist. Rather, multiple scientists contributed to a foundation of three revolutionary principles that gradually gained acceptance and experimental verification between 1900 and 1930. They are quantized properties, particles of light and waves of matter.
