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

quantum mechanics seems to offer hope of a world where any dream, no matter how outlandish, is realizable. Other familiar names, Bohr, Schrodinger, Dirac, and later Feynman and Dyson, each made great leaps into the unknown. But they weren't alone. Physics is a collaborative discipline. Too often scie

ever ask in a big auditorium full of people, as I have, for the Belgians to raise their hands, almost no one ever does. Except when I lectured in Belgium, as I did recently, and where I learned my analogy was not appreciated. 2P_Gtealer-StoryEverTold_Atird6 98 12/16116 3:06 PIA EFTA00286018 Chapt

Heisenberg, the next step in unveiling the quantum craziness of reality was taken by an unlikely explorer, Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac. In one sense, Dirac was the perfect man for the job. As Einstein is re- puted to have later said of him, "This balancing on the dizzying path between genius and madness
