Quantumplating

The act of deeply thinking about something relating to quantum nature, often for long periods of time with little concern for one's surrounding

Quantum Wank

n. Masterbating whilst mentally reliving past sexual failures and "Trying to put right what once went wrong."
I totally blew it with the hot chick with the big jugs last night. She walked away 'to talk to her friends' and I knew she wasn't coming back. I ended having a Quantum Wank over her when I got home so my balls didn't explode. Those puppies weren't hard to forget!

Quantum Physics

I give up! Quantum Physics is just too hard! How do people even come up with this stuff?!

What the hell is reality???!!!

Quantum Science

NOT a fucking roblox group. Its the study of area of study about information science related to quantum effects in physics.

quantum rizzics

Quantum rizzics is the act of a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents by picking up so many women you puncture the fabric of space-time,

It is also a play on words for Quantum physics which is a difficult science, such as this science is difficult to master.

quantum theory

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.)
