LOL, shallow response as always coming from you. Can't even care to explain any of the things you post ...

You might want to reconsider what you wrote here. Quantum mechanics is the best theory we have to explain how nature works. Until someday, someone will come up with a better theory. Of course QM applies to "any" scale. For the same reasons General relativity applies to Gravitation on "any" scale. Now we can get away with Newton's Gravity theory for most of the daily business, although it is only an approximation of the "real thing". Same goes for any other laws for which we can get away in daily business by being approximations to the "real thing", quantum mechanics. It also helps that all those "approximative theories" are (mostly) understandable, while qm really is a bitch. I don't think there is a single physicist that fully understands qm (I certainly don't, and I have a PhD in quantum optics...) And lastly, as for killing Hitler baby, what would be the point? He was a product of his time. Gettimg him off the map would have resulted in just another figure taking his place. And Hitler was a lousy military commander, so things might have turned out even worse without him. |
Quantum mechanics is great at describing condensed matter physics, particle physics, and other small scale physical interaction theories. It neatly accounts for fundamental forces such as strong nuclear, electromagnetic, and the weak nuclear forces but hardly any of it can be used to study astronomy or interactions between celestial objects where gravitational forces dominate at those scales. Quantum mechanics as it currently stands has no business in dealing with gravity so that is where general relativity must come in ...
Newton's laws of motion is good enough for many daily observations but as you realize it has some profound flaws which is why modern physics such as general relativity or quantum mechanics are built on top of the theory of special relativity which is one of the greatest discoveries of all time. Despite both encompassing special relativity which is arguably the only piece of truth in this universe, they have taken divergent paths that are now irreconcilable with each other ...
Regardless, my point to him was that quantum mechanics does not take absolute precedence over every physical laws known to us because we still have two viable sets of physical laws that have differing description of our reality ...
