of the twelve supposed hominids are actually
extinct species of ape. While the remaining three

ancestors were rich merchants that attained the
highest ranks of the burgess class. His father,
Etienne, was a royal tax officer and a member of

the circumstances of Pascal's life, seem clearly
to state that he grew up in wealthy circumstances.

Subatomic Particles Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Mechanics is the science of subatomic
particles and their behavior patterns that are
observed in nature. As the foundation of
scientific knowledge approached the start of the
twentieth century, problems began to arise over

capable of explaining the observed behavior of
subatomic particles. In 1913, the Danish physicist
Neil's Bohr, proposed a successful quantum model
of the atom that began the process of a more
defined understanding of its su...
