Genuine Fortuitousness
... In the late 1920’s, due to the experimental success of quantum theory, many physicists who were now used to the accuracy of what was a phenomenologically descriptive theory of the quantum scale began to question how QM fit in with the rest of physics as whole. In short, physicists asked the question ...
