- W87524420 abstract "In this chapter we briefly review the failure of classical physics and the experiments and ideas that led to the formulation of quantum mechanics in 1925. The first quarter of the 20 century saw the introduction of two new developments in physics that have revolutionized our understanding of the subject. These two developments are: 1. Relativity 2. Quantum Mechanics Although the first of these two developments has had minor influence on our daily activity until recently, the second has dominated much of the technological development of the 20 century. It is quantum mechanics that has set the framework for our theoretical understanding of the basic properties of atoms, molecules and solids. Having this theoretical understanding, it is hoped that we can predict the nature of chemical reactions, the behavior of semiconductors, and the properties of superconductors at low and high temperatures. Thus quantum mechanics forms the cornerstone of both the chemical and electronics industry. However, the influence of this theory goes beyond science and technology. In fact its influence extends to all aspects of human thinking from Art to Philosophy. When Heisenberg, in 1927[1], came out with the idea of quantum theory based on the uncertainty principle, he found that his greatest opposition came from the German philosophers of the time. This was basically because the uncertainty principle violated not only the microcausality of Newton and Lagrange, but also the basic philosophical ideas of Kant[2]. In the present eBook, I want to concentrate on the scientific influence of quantum mechanics, and in particular the tools it gives us to understand nature at the microscopic level. In fact, over the next chapters in this eBook, we will develop the ideas and the" @default.
