i dont understand this article
there are many big words
- Welcome to quantum theory. It doesn't get any simpler.
- I don't know if it was paradoxical, but the purpose of this wiki is intended to SIMPLIFY the language and concepts. -OneTopJob6

- It's really difficult to do so without watering down everything...quantum mechanics is usually taught at the university level, perhaps even in 2nd or 3rd year. I know of one textbook which introduces the concepts at a grade 7 level, but even then, it assumes that the students are very advanced educationally speaking. --HappyCamper 06:16, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A mess
This article is a mess right now...I think it is best to approach this from a historical perspective, and work through step by step all the reasoning that was done in quantum mechanics. It is probably not a good idea to introduce advanced concepts in the article until much later. --HappyCamper 06:25, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- Holding off on the advanced concepts dilutes the very idea of quantum mechanics - to not include it on the basis of simplicity is solely an exercise in reducing the information available - you may as well just not iclude the information in the first place rather than try to simplify it further than it should realistically go.
- I agree that the article is a mess. I agree that the history needs to be expanded, and all the ideas should be tied to that section, and explained more in later sections. A brief summary at the beginning is necessary, however.
