(This Quantum Physics thing is literally destroying my brain)

In the year 1687, Isaac Newton published “Principia Mathematica”, a fundamental book for the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. He was the forerunner of the scientific principles of the force of gravity and planetary motion. He is the father of Classical Physics (the one with the big things).

In 1907 Albert Einstein contributed “The Theory of Relativity” which establishes, for example, that a moving clock moves its hands more slowly than a stationary one and that, if the clock traveled at the speed of light, in theory, its hands move. they would stop completely. Similarly, physical objects reduce in size in the direction of motion in a manner proportional to their speed. Theoretically, if a massive object were traveling at the speed of light, its length in the direction of motion would reduce to zero; He also laid the foundations for quantum mechanics.

In 1983 Stephen Hawking formulated the “First Theory of Quantum Gravity” confirming that the Universe began at a point of infinite density (the Big Bang). He was the first scientist to offer a cosmological theory explained from the confluence of the General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
