4 paradoxes of quantum physics
Stumbled upon Wikipedia, and this material amused me a lot. Of course, people who are deep in science will not be interested in it, but the rest should like it.
1. Emptiness: If you increase the nucleus of a hydrogen atom to the size of a basketball, the electron rotating around it will be at a distance of 30 kilometers, and nothing between them!
2. Wave particle: The state of a particle depends on the actual act of measurement or observation. An unmeasured and unobservable electron behaves like a wave (probability field). It is necessary to subject it to observation in the laboratory, and it collapses into a particle (a solid object whose position can be localized).

3. Quantum leap. When an electron moves from its orbit of an atomic nucleus, it does not move like ordinary objects, it moves instantaneously. That is, it disappears from one orbit and appears on the other. It is impossible to determine exactly where the electron will appear or when it makes a jump, the maximum that can be done is to designate the probability of a new electron location.
4. The principle of uncertainty Heisenberg. It is impossible to simultaneously measure the speed and position of a quantum object. The more we focus on one of these indicators, the more uncertain the other becomes.
I do not give such an explanation, because I am not strong in physics, just so that people know what such exists)
