Quantum mechanics is the science of the very small. It explains the behavior of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atomic and subatomic particles. By contrast, classical physics explains matter and energy only on a scale familiar to human experience, including the behavior of astronomical bodies such as the Moon. Classical physics is still used in much of modern science and technology. However, towards the end of the 19th century, scientists discovered phenomena in both the large (macro) and the small (micro) worlds that classical physics could not explain.[1] The desire to resolve inconsistencies between observed phenomena and classical theory led to two major revolutions in physics that created a shift in the original scientific paradigm: the theory of relativity and the development of quantum mechanics.[2] This article describes how physicists discovered the limitations of classical physics and developed the main concepts of the quantum theory that replaced it in the early decades of the 20th century. It describes these concepts in roughly the order in which they were first discovered. For a more complete history of the subject, see History of quantum mechanics.

this pdf consist 75 antonym. Antonym importance suggests that certain things are not as important as others. It can be used to prioritize tasks, resources, or facts. For example, it may be important to focus on the most urgent tasks first, or to save the most important resources for later. In terms of facts, it might be important to focus on the most relevant or significant pieces of information, rather than on details that are of lesser importance.
