What Does Quantum Physics Predict for You in 2008?

When someone asks me how I did last year I tell him or her that they are asking the wrong question.

They should be asking, "What did you chose to pay attention to last year?” and “How much effort did you put forth last year?”

The choice of what I paid attention to is the quantum question and it has to do with probabilities. The effort aspect is the Newtonian or “classical” physics question and has to do with pushes and pulls, causes and effects, Newton’s third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Let’s look more closely starting with the quantum perspective. Quantum physics is the study of the incredibly small. While Newtonian physics describes the orbit of the planets or the energy transformations in a game of pool, quantum physics describes the movement and energy of electrons around a nucleus of the atom and other subatomic actions.
