waited for the sun to rise. Heisenberg, fresh from obtaining his PhD, had moved to the distin- guished German university in Gottingen to work with Max Born to try to come up with a consistent theory of quantum mechanics (a term first used in the paper "On Quantum Mechanics" by Born in 1924). However,

A Universe Stranger than Fiction 87 As I have noted, in quantum mechanics particles have a wavelike character. Thanks to Max Born we recognize that the square of the am- plitude of the wave associated with a particle at any point—what we now call the wave function of the partic
