Page "Quantum mechanics" Paragraph 62

Quantum mechanics had enormous success in explaining many of the features of our world.

The individual behaviors of the subatomic particles that make up all forms of matter ( electrons, protons, neutrons, photons, and others ) can often only be satisfactorily described using quantum mechanics.

Quantum mechanics has strongly influenced string theories, candidates for a Theory of Everything ( see reductionism ), and the multiverse hypotheses.
