How does classical mechanics differ from quantum mechanics?
.
.
Classical mechanics are continuous, moving in smooth, orderly patterns. They are predictable.
Quantum mechanics are unpredictable. Movement is random, meaning that "jumps" occur, which are seemingly random transitions between states: "quantum leaps". Unlike classical mechanics, which move in a ramp like fashion, quantum meachanics jump, as if they're moving up a staircase.
