Unlocking Quantum Mysteries: A Beginner's Journey into Sci-Fi Science 🚀🔬

We’ve all witnessed outrageous scenes in movies and shows—time travel in Avengers: Endgame, telepathy, hyperspace jumps in Star Wars, teleportation in The Flash and Jujutsu Kaisen, and so much more. Many people think these concepts are impossible because they belong in the realm of science fiction. Au contraire, they might not be as unattainable as you’d think.

If you look closely, most of these fictional devices involve large, intimidating machines. However, once humanity’s science advances further, you’ll discover that these enormous contraptions are powered by very small, almost invisible phenomena—and they’re made possible by quantum mechanics.

Before we reach that highly advanced future, I’ll walk you through some of the most fascinating quantum concepts in a way that’s easy to follow—using as little math as possible. To keep it fun and engaging, I’ll draw inspiration from popular sci-fi scenes and comic book excerpts.

I invite you to explore the intricate and messy, almost “ant-like” world of quantum mechanics with me. I am The Quantum Fulcrum (Fulcrum for short), and I’ll be your guide through these vast new realities. Let’s embark on this journey together!
