The other day in class we learned about quantum mechanics. It is a bizarre field, and defies common knowledge. It almost seems that what goes on in the quantum world is impossible. It is one of those sciences that you can't clearly see what is happening, you just need to accept that it is true. We must understand that the world of atoms is much different than the world we live in. Quantum mechanics is extremely difficult to understand because we only have an understanding of what we encounter in our daily lives.
I think the best way that helped me understand what goes on in the quantum world was the quantum bar scene from the video. It gave an example of when you would order an orange drink, you could get the orange drink, but a blue one, a red one and many different other colors all at the same time. This helps to explain the double slit experiment where the atom could go into almost any direction and every one of those direction would be possible.
Below, I posted a somewhat related video to blow your mind.
Video shows what the future holds for us

This video gave made me the impression of how America is really starting to lose some of the glory it has enjoyed in the past 50 years or so. American thrived during the 50's especially because the mainland U.S. was not attacked durring WWII. While many of the European countries were focusing on rebuilding their countries, America was able to be the dominant player on the global market. Now, Europe and the rest of the world is starting to grow and America does not have the supremacy that it used to have (thank you George Bush).
The section dealing with technology seemed to be much less depressing to me. We know technology is advancing faster and faster, and tools like the Internet and other inventions have made that possible. But it is too hard to predict know all the amazing technologies that would be coming in the future. 20 years ago, no one predicted that today you would be able to store thousands of songs and hundreds of videos inside your pocket. It will be amazing to see how future technologies will help to shape our society
