John Boswell - The Quantum World Lyrics

So, what are we really made of?
Dig deep inside the atom
And you'll find tiny particles
Held together by invisible forces

Everything is made up
Of tiny packets of energy
Born in cosmic furnaces

The atoms that we're made of have
Negatively charged electrons
Whirling around a big bulky nucleus

The Quantum Theory
Offers a very different explanation
Of our world

The universe is made of
Twelve particles of matter
Four forces of nature

That's a wonderful and significant story

Suppose that little things
Behaved very differently
Than anything big

Nothing's really as it seems
It's so wonderfully different
Than anything big

The world is a dynamic mess
Of jiggling things
It's hard to believe

The quantum theory
Is so strange and bizarre
Even Einstein couldn't get his head around it

In the quantum world
The world of particles
Nothing is certain
It's a world of probabilities

It's very hard to imagine
All the crazy things
That things really are like

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

We need a theory of everything
Which is still just beyond our grasp
We need a theory of everything, perhaps
The ultimate triumph of science

I gotta stop somewhere
I'll leave you something to imagine
