Quantum mechanics is named ‘quantum because ail the readings must be whole numbers. You will never see 10% spin in x, 90% in y and 85% in z; just ones, and z

rns at every step. The story of the development of quan- tum mechanics is full of them. But I want to cut to the chase here, and so I will skip over Niels Bohr, whose ideas laid out the first fundamental atomic rules of the quantum world as well as the basis for much of modern chemis- try. We'll also skip E

When Fermi learned the news about nuclear fission in 1939 in New York, following a lecture by Niels Bohr at Princeton, Fermi amended his earlier Nobel acceptance speech to clarify his earlier error and in short order re- 2P_Glealer-StoryEverTold_Atindd

Quantum mechanics had just been born, new ideas were everywhere, and the rigorous mathematics necessary to deal with these ideas had not yet been developed
