Features: As a branch of physics, the discipline of force is called "mechanics," the study of electric and magnetic properties is called "electromagnetism," and there are also "thermodynamics," "optics," "wave mechanics," and so on. Even if people do not know its specific content, they can roughly infer its meaning from the literal meaning of the words. However, when it comes to quantum theory or quantum mechanics, people might ask, "What exactly is it?" or "Is it something like mechanics, electricity, or wave mechanics that we learned before?" Indeed, the term "quantum" is not part of everyday language, and even foreign languages that can well integrate technical terms and everyday language also name it "quantum (quan-tum)," seemingly implying that it is difficult to relate to ordinary life. The words are hard to understand, and the content is equally difficult to understand, making it hard to read and causing people to stay away, with no artistic value at all.
