Symphony of Science - the Quantum World!
Published May 26, 2023, 8:20 a.m. by Naomi Charles
In the quantum world, everything is made of tiny particles called atoms. And atoms are always in motion. That's why we have music. Music is the symphony of atoms in motion.
When atoms collide, they produce sound waves. These sound waves travel through the air and into our ears, where they are converted into electrical signals that our brain can understand.
Music is the symphony of the quantum world. It is the sound of atoms in motion. And it is the sound of our Universe.

and you'll find tiny particles

Nothing's really as it seems.

Electrons act like waves.
No they don't exactly.
They act like particles.
