A novel and revolutionary way of viewing the world, the main postulates of the quantum theory include...
1. Light exhibits dual wave-particle behaviour as does all matter. The photoelectric effect and the discovery of light having momentum led to this belief and the theory that energy is absorbed and emitted in finite 'chunks' called quanta. The wavelength of macroscopic material, however, has such a small wavelength that we still treat them with the laws of Newtonian mechanics rather than wave mechanics. Since electrons have a tiny mass, however, their wavelength becomes somewhat significant.
2. Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger went one step further on this. Heisenberg said if we know the position of the electron outside the nucleus we have no idea what its momemtum is and vice versa. Schrödinger then took this into account and proposed a new model of the atom. This is often illustrated as an electron cloud, where the denser the cloud, the greater the probability is of finding an electron.
3. A natural consequence of this is that there is an inherent imprecision in nature. The physical world is just based on probabilty.
(That's my attempt at explaining it. I'm not shocked by the theory so don't assume I know what I'm talking about.)

"According to the theory of consent you must first ask that soda can permission before you fuck it."

Get the Theory of consentmug. Theory coined by Social Psychologist Kate Cunty theorizing that humans are giving cunt exponentially more due to social matters. She stated that people are more inclined to serve cunt when social pressures are higher, also discussing the matter of the Cuntization Prioritization (how the social situation determines how much someone prioritizes serving cunt). Researchers that had later done studies on the Theory of Cuntization claimed that although Kate Cunty's theory was correct regarding Cuntization Prioritization, they found that people serve cunt statistically more due to internal factors rather that external (social) factors.
"Oh my god, I just got a call from Lucas and he said that instead of taking me to the movie theater, we are going to a museum for our date. Now I have to serve cunt!"
"No way... thank god you can prioritize serving cunt in time. Maybe Kate Cunty was right about her Theory of Cuntization!"
