Schrodinger Wave Equation explained in simple words

Newtonian Mechanics don't work in the quantum world. Quantum objects are very microscopic that they can't be located but they can be probably located. And this probability can be determined by using wave functions of the quantum particles Wave function gives us the probabilities of where the electron is likely to be. The act of not knowing where the electron is, allows its probability distribution to be spread out over a large space kind of wave. Therefore  wave function is the function which describes the wave shape of the probability distribution of the electron . The Heisenberg Uncertainty principle says that we can't predict the exact position and momentum of the quantum objects. But we can know about things like Energy levels and wave functions.

Casimir Effect

Scientists are often astonished observing the moment of things around, on their own with no visible force acting on them.  When two mirrors which are later called the Casimir plates, placed in a strong box maintaining one-atmosphere pressure at 100 nanometers apart move towards each other with no well-known forces between. Here comes the Casimir effect into the picture. This was discovered by Hendrick Casimir in 1948 and named after him. To understand the Casimir effect we have to first know these bullet points: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle proposes that both the position and momentum of a subatomic particle cannot be determined simultaneously.                                                                                         ...
