There's no area of science I enjoy as much as quantum mechanics. I was watching a Feyman lecture on it yesterday, and the accuracy of the field is really incredible. Somewhere around the 13 minute mark, he comments that the agreement of the theory of quantum with experiments, even back in the mid 70s, is on the order of 10^-10. That's like someone offering to measure the distance between you and the moon, and giving you the correct answer to within about 8 inches.
