This is based on the book by renowned physicist and author Brian Greene, taking us to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are piecing together the most complete picture yet of space, time, and the universe. With each step, audiences will discover that just beneath the surface of our everyday experience lies a world we'd hardly recognizeâ"a startling world far stranger and more wondrous than anyone expected. Brian Greene is going to let you in on a secret: We've all been deceived. Our perceptions of time and space have led us astray. Much of what we thought we knew about our universeâ"that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that existsâ"just might be wrong. Interweaving provocative theories, experiments, and stories with crystal-clear explanations and imaginative metaphors like those that defined the groundbreaking and highly acclaimed series "The Elegant Universe," ! "The Fabric of the Cosmos" aims to be the most compelling, visual, and comprehensive picture of modern physics ever seen. Quantum mechanics (QM - also known as quantum physics, or quantum theory) is a branch of physics dealing with physical phenomena where the action is on the order of the Planck constant. Quantum mechanics departs from classical mechanics primarily at the [[|atomic spacing|atomic]] and subatomic scales, the so-called "quantum realm". QM provides a mathematical description of much of the
