what is Quantum Mechanics ?



" The introduction of numbers as coordinates [...] is an act of
violence [...] "

HermannWey Weyl

Hermann Weyl (1885–1955) was one of the most important mathematicians
of his time, as well as an important theoretical physicist.He was one
of the
last universalists in both fields,a contributor to quantum theory and
relativity,
father of the term ‘gauge’ theory, and author of many popular texts.

Taking this quote into account, for 10min for the sake of
discussion, we will all these keep aside

1) Limits
2) Linear combinations: superposition principle
3) Tensors
4) Functions concept { for us: it is Wave-function }

now,

How can we define, what exactly is Quantum Mechanics ?

How it is more than philosophy/physics/religion/or any other ?

Why everyone these days buzzing that, they know what exactly is
Quantum Mechanics ?

Any comments, you are mostly welcome

so long
