Chronicles the development of the quantum theory, providing a detailed account of forty key moments that span from the beginning of the twentieth century to the early twenty-first, and examining the work of such physicists as Planck, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Bohr, Einstein, Bell…
Jim Baggott tells the story of quantum theory through 40 key moments in its history, from the hints of trouble in 1900 to the hunt for the Higgs particle at CERN today.
Presented here in 40 episodes spanning from 1900 to the present, it is a story of exhilaration and despair, of spectacular successes, and the profound challenges remaining today. It features a roll call of great physicists, including Planck, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Bohr, Einste…
