	Description:		Unless you're a physicist, you've probably only encountered quantum mechanics on TV. And even when it was explained, you might've still been a little confused. The field of quantum mechanics was created a century ago. Today, scientists are using it to create methods of communication that can't be hacked, higher quality digital images, and to develop medications. But many of us don't even understand what quantum mechanics is — or how it's deepening our understanding of the universe. For today's installment of our series, "The Scientific Method," we answer your quantum-related questions. Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast.
