Everything was looking much accurate and theoretical, the
force which attract the apple towards the ground is the same force which keeps
moon in its orbit. Every object in this try to keeps its state (Newton’s first
law of motion), every stuff in this universe with mass have property to attract
another stuff with mass (i.e. Gravity). The earth revolves around the sun due
to the same force which holds you on ground. At that time scientist thought
that these laws are applicable for every stuff and everywhere in this universe
but, this concept was wrong.
In the year 1920, there was the rise of new branch in
physics which deals with very small particle (i.e. elementary particles). And
soon physicists found that there is totally different world for elementary
particle which looks very strange from our point of view. In our world nothing
could be happen without any reason but in quantum world everything could be
happen without any reason. For example: in normal world a ball cannot move
unless any force applied on it but, an electron can move, change its velocity
without any reason. And this concept raised with very simple but revolutionary
experiment (i.e. double slit experiment). In this experiment, scientists thrown
electrons through a wall having two very thin openings and supposed that
electrons will strike the screen which is just straight to the slits but that
not happened. Electrons starts deviating from their path. When physicist
studied that pattern then they found that electrons behaved like a wave and the
pattern which observed on the screen is the result of destructive and
constructive interference of electrons. Scientist thought that, it may be
happened because they throw many electrons at a time. So, they repeat this
experiment, and at this time they throw only one electron at a time. After
throwing many electrons they found the same pattern which appeared first. This
phenomenon shocked them, but they got much shocking result when they repeat
this experiment after putting a detector over one slit. At this time, they
found that whole wave pattern disappeared or at this time electrons just hit
the predicted place (i.e. just behind the slits).
With this simple experiment and weird result physicists
contributed that quantum world is totally weird place where laws of physics
could be broken. In quantum world a particle can be exists at many places at
exact same time and they may have different velocities until we observe it and
all property (i.e. velocity, location etc) of a particle is combinedly called
as its ‘Wave Function’.
