Only six years later, at a con- ference in Belgium, the Solvay Conference, which later became famous, was Einstein finally able to convince Planck that the classical picture of light had to be aband

e. In 1918, when Fermi graduated from high school in Rome, the possi- bilities open to a brilliant young scientific mind were far less constrained. 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
