Quantum Fluctuations 101
Chapter 1: The Basics
Quantum fluctuations are not actually fluctuations at all, but rather a fundamental part of the fabric of reality.
They're like tiny, random events that occur at the quantum level, causing particles to change direction mid-air.
This can lead to some pretty wild outcomes, like:
- Spontaneous combustion of matter
- Instantaneous appearances of matter from nowhere (we're looking at you, quantum socks)
- Matter-anti-matter oscillations
Chapter 2: Practical Applications
Quantum fluctuations have many uses in modern society.
- Making your favorite foods appear in your fridge without explanation
- Granting you temporary invincibility in video games
- Causing random but inexplicable changes in the stock market
