Solvay Physics Conference 1927

Epistemology - By: (Me) Nicholas Ellis @ www.youtube.com/sn1pe352

"It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education." - Albert Einstein

Twenty-nine physicists, the main quantum theorists of the day, came together to discuss the topic "Electrons and Photons". Seventeen of the 29 attendees were or became Nobel Prize winners.
.
"Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality."

"Today's science thinks too primitively; indeed it could be said that its thinking is an octave too low. It has still not ventured far enough into the realm of energy, and its attitude has remained development was necessary, for how else should a misguided humanity perceive the true interdependencies?"

Here is the Academic Aftermath :

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."

Caltech:From Atoms to Quarks Electron waves attracted to the nucleus of an atom help account for the periodic table of the elements and ultimately lead to the search for quarks.

Caltech: Particles and Waves From Atoms to Quarks Evidence that light can sometimes act like a particle leads to quantum mechanics, the new physics.
