e posits that an electron is a particle but it’s one that you can explain in the same way as a wave. The principle also explains how it’s only possible to either know where an electron currently is or know its path and speed. It’s not possible to know both its position and its path. All this means is that you can’t really predict where an electron will be; you can only guess its probability of being somewhere. 
Quantum theory is tricky to understand but it helps explain very small entities. It can’t be used to explain the big things in the universe – things like gravity and time. On the flip side the theory of relativity is great for understanding the larger forces in the universe. It’s hopeless however at explaining the subatomic world. Science is therefore left with two theories: quantum physics and the theory of relativity. No one has yet found a theory that explains everything.
There are four unique criteria that make life on planet Earth possible.
