Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that explains how things don't quite work as we'd like them to, but it's okay, we've learned to live with it.
Imagine you're in a world where cats can be in two places at once. Sounds like a Tuesday, right? That's kind of what quantum mechanics does, but with particles, not cats.
But don't worry, it's not all about Schrödinger's cat being in a box, though that's a great place to start. It's about probability and superposition, and how sometimes, just sometimes, things don't quite add up as we expect.
