Copenhagen Takes Over (1925-?)

Abstract: Abstract The innovations had come thick and fast since the beginning of the century. From Planck’s proposal that energy is transferred in discrete bundles to Einstein’s introduction of photons, from Rutherford and Bohr’s analyses of the atom to de Broglie’s proposal that waves are omnipresent, and from Heisenberg’s H-technique (which presumed discontinuous processes) to Schrödinger’s wave equation (which presumed that all processes are smooth)—all the powerful new tools for probing the nature of the universe had come piling in, ready for use.
