Do you believe in classical physics or quantam physics, why?

Quantum physics is made up largely of theories, although fascinating and promising many of these theories have yet to be proven or may never be proven. 'Classical' physics is much more empirical, although I don't 'disbelieve' quantum physics I tend to favor on the side of emprical sciences.

I beleive in classical physics.... bcoz it seems quantam physics does not rely on empirical values... more over quantam physics is an illusion.
-
Yes. That's not to say parts of it can't be disproved, but physics has to be believed while it's being used
-
I don't even understand why this is a question... 'believe in them'. They have both been proven through experiment and just because quantum mechanics is more theory doesn't discredit it in any way. There are experiments such as young's slits where one photon at a time is fired towards two slits and the photon interacts with itself to form the light dark pattern on a screen placed behind. Which prove super position i.e the photon is in two places at once. This is a silly question..

It is risky using a word like "believe" in a forum like AB. I don't "believe" in anything in science. I find that quantum physics provides the best explanation we have so far found of behaviour at the small scale, and is therefore is the closest approximation to "truth" that we have yet found. Many thinks we use routinely (e.g. computers, mobile phones) are deeply based on predictions from quantum physics, so I cannot say that quantum physics is wrong. On the other hand, I can say that it is incomplete. At the other end of the scale, relativistic physics (I am not sure whether you call that classical or not) makes some equally accurate but unintitive predictions. But relativity and quantum mechanics are deeply contradictory. So some kind of deeper theory needs to be found which combines the two. It is like the parable of the blind men and the elephant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Men_and_an_Elephant . Both descriptions are partial desriptions, and true as far as they go, but not the whole truth. So I both "believe" and "disbelieve" in both.

I belive in them both. I know they both exist.

Albert Einstein deny the quantam dynamics in his whole life and what now?? Quantam Physics is largely used in many of our product; Quantam Computer will be groundbreaking issue near future.( not yet though) so my opininon is this-- We are living in Real world , not theorytical perfect world, and men can only understand what they can understand.
