The battle of two gods-Shall quantum physics live?
Albert Einstein wasn’t a fan of the Copenhagen interpretation. He tried to prove it wrong using the weapon he liked best-thought experiments. However, Niels…

The Copenhagen interpretation
The probability explanation, the uncertainty principle and the complementary principle combine to form the Copenhagen interpretation. Niels Bohr redefined…

Heisenberg and the uncertainty principle
Heisenberg wasn’t satisfied with the situation: his and Schrödinger’s theory was unified mathematically, but he firmly believed in the discontinuity of nature…

Max Born and the invincible determinism
It seemed as if matrix mechanics were essentially the same as wave functions, but what did physicists make of the mysterious psi? Born claimed that it was…
- God does play dice
Paul Dirac and his extraordinary story
Heisenberg had just developed the new matrix mechanics when Paul Dirac, the English man, noticed something crucial about the math. Developing a new algebra…

Heisenberg and his peculiar matrix
Pauli’s friend Heisenberg went to Helgoland because of hay fever. He sat on the beach to watch the sun rise and came up with a new mechanics of matrices. He…

Physicists and the misleading spin
Pauli had a hard time trying to figure out what the fourth quantum number of the electron could represent. Although two young men later came up with the…

Pauli and his irritating electron
Niels Bohr’s atomic model was the basis of the following theories. The problem of why electrons have fixed orbits led to the discovery of Schrödinger’s wave…

Erwin Schrödinger and his girlfriends/ wave function
Erwin Schrödinger had a lot of girlfriends. They were his source of inspiration, but his wife wasn’t exactly happy about it. Amidst all the talking about…

Louis de Broglie and his wavy electron
Why do electrons have fixed orbits? Niels Bohr couldn’t explain. Louis de Broglie came to the rescue. His doctoral paper won him the Nobel Prize, which was…

Special episode: A trip to Copenhagen
I actually visited Denmark this summer and had quite a nice experience. There were plenty of sites related to the twentieth century physics world. 前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动

Niels Bohr and his atomic model
In short, the Danish boy Niels Henrik David Bohr found a quantized version of an atom. Discontinuity, an important characteristic of quantum theory has been…

Light- the unfinished third battle
There is a revolution waiting ahead. The quantum theory will play a major part in it. The third battle is far from over. Groups of geniuses in the early…

Light-the second battle
The wave theory is rising! Two geniuses and several experiments quickly changed the trajectory of history. Surprise attacks were launched frequently, soon…

Light-the first battle
What is light? People have thought about this question for centuries. Some considered it a kind of wave and others were determined to prove that its nature is…

Photoelectric effect
How can light stimulate electric currents? Einstein gave us the answer. Planck who was the rebel suddenly turned against his own theory. The age of quantum…
