Small, Smaller, Smallest.....

                                                     
    QUANTUM MECHANICS have completely changed everyone's view of seeing this cosmos. We started from simple astronomy to gravity and further went to electromagnetism. What after electromagnetism ? It was quantum mechanics & relativity...
   We have always imagined about what could be the smallest particle. In ancient times people thought that things were made up of elements like water, rocks, air and fire. Then some thought that everything is a form of water. In the recent past people believed that matter was made up of indivisible particle called atoms. Then we discovered electrons, protons and neutrons. We did not stop there. We then discovered what protons and neutrons were made up of. There was a debate since ancient times whether light is a stream of particle or a wave. Answers to that were given by Quantum Mechanics.
             
             Quantum Mechanics is the study of light and matter and the interaction between them
