Actually is confusing but interesting. They used to think the smallest thing was the atom. But <doh> the atom is made up of parts and between those parts is still matter or it wouldn't be there. What's below that is the real deal I think. I am also astounded by the theories on electrons as particles or waves like in string theory.

I'm fine with subatomic particles and all, but quantum entanglement at a distance makes me go "wha...?"
And quantum computing, what's the deal with that? If I have it correct, quantum computers get their great speed by finding all the answers at once, but how do they work out which is the right answer out of all the wrong ones?

Think of normal computers using 1's and 0's in a linear line, where quantum computers' 1s & 0s come from every conceivable angle, multiple rows from all directions allowing a billion times faster computation

Quantum physics explains how the smallest pieces of the universe—atoms and particles—behave, and where they can exist in multiple possible states until they're measured.
