Simplified Quantum Physics for the curious

Quantum physics studies the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, typically at the level of atoms and subatomic particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons.

Electrons exist in cloud-like regions called orbitals around the nucleus, which is composed of protons and neutrons. The exact position of an electron isn't a fixed orbit but a probability distribution within these orbitals.

The Heisenberg principle of uncertainty states that you can’t simultaneously know with high precision both the position and momentum of a particle. 

If you know the position, you won’t know the exact momentum and vice-versa.

This is due to the act of measurements induced on the phenomenon being observed.

For example, if we use a specific laser to know the exact position of an atom, the laser would also influence the momentum and we won’t know it.

Translation in everyday life:

Focusing solely on one thing, will distort your ability to have accurate information on the other things.
