See Quantum Physics.

 

 

From what we have done of quantum so far it is still governed by mathematics, it is just governed by probability rather than certainty. You can never say with certainty where a particle is but you can say what the probability of the particle being in a certain space is.

I haven't done that much quantum physics yet (only in the first year of my degree) but most of the stuff I have seen so far has been able to be described in things like the Hisenberg Uncertainty Principle or Schrodingers Equation (both mathematical relationships).

If anybody who knows more than me wants to show me up now, go ahead =P.

 

Through a new formula.

That's the point.  In regular Physics A+B=C.

However when you take the equation small enough.... that equation doesn't work anymore.

The Physics Equations don't fit Quantum Physics situations and vice versa.

 

It's still maths though, just a different kind of maths.

 

Yes but the point is.  1+1 does not always = 2.

In some places it equals 2 in others it equals something else.
