Earlier this week I watched a program about the greatest scientific inventions
and it mentioned the quantum theory. The program said that Newtons laws of
physics did not apply to sub atomic particles and that the movement of a 
particle smaller than an atom was best described using the quantum theory. I am
interested in this because I have been thinking about the movement of electrons
in a circuit.
