How does quantum physics work, you may ask, what is it, and where does it come from? In this article we discuss a very brief and simplified history of Quantum Mech anics and will quote what the founding fathers of this branch of science had to say sa y about edic edic influence on the development of their theories. !e are are not interested in new age mumbo-"umbo. !e are interested in understanding what is real and what is false. #his is why we$ along with all other great minds$ consult the edic edic te%ts. &lease read on'
