The caffeine molecule has approximately 100 spinning electrons orbiting the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms that comprise it, and the number of electron-electron interactions across those 100 outer shell electrons is governed by Schrödinger's equation, but there are so many interactions that even the world's best supercomputers are powerless to calculate the structure of the caffeine molecule.
