Quantum superposition or quantum entanglement concept illustration. Superposition is the ability of a quantum system to be in multiple states at the same time until it is measured. Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently.

Protons seem to be a different size depending on how you look at them

An experiment that probed particles called gluons, which contain most of the mass of a proton, has revealed that a proton鈥檚 radius alters depending on whether you look at the particle's charge or mass
