- Quantum mechanics provides insights into the behavior of subatomic particles and their properties.
- subatomic particle
- subatomic activity
- subatomic level
So quantum theory is being developed as a better way to describe atomic level and subatomic level objects.
- So quantum theory is being developed as a better way to describe atomic level and subatomic level objects.
- Both events are equally likely, and it's through probabilities that we explain this behaviour of subatomic particles.
- But are you positing that subatomic particles are conscious because there's some good reason to think this?
- These atomic, subatomic realm, very weird realm.
- When you get past the molecular to the atomic level of this and then subatomic the quarks, you get this into this pluripotent.
- And atom isn't exactly what we typically think of in our science classes and textbooks today because we have subatomic particles.
Examples
-
One, of course, is quantum theory, lurking at the subatomic roots of the world.
Academic text (1991) -
Are they or are they not made of subatomic particles?
-
Suppose we say to ourselves, well, OK, I guess at the subatomic level things are very strange, OK.
-
I love you on a subatomic level.
-
At the subatomic level, dead ends aren't really dead ends at all.
-
So quantum theory is being developed as a better way to describe atomic level and subatomic level objects.
-
Fundamentally, all subatomic particles are particles, not waves.
-
And so quantum physics is the theory of the small that describes atoms, molecules, subatomic particles.
-
That space itself is foamy at the subatomic level, and these bubbles can become entire universes.
-
Wow, these subatomic particles are behaving really strangely.

Etymology
Subatomic breaks into sub- meaning 'under' (as in submarine, something under the sea) and atomic from atom, a word that once meant 'indivisible' or the smallest part of matter. So subatomic means 'under or smaller than an atom', that is, the very tiny parts inside atoms.
