What do we give up to accept Quantum Theory?\u0026nbsp; After all these years Heisenberg\u0027s 1925 discovery paper for Quantum Theory is still opaque, in contrast to\u0026nbsp; Einstein\u0027s for Special Relativity. In hindsight, to accept Quantum Theory we must give up the Classical Principle, which is hardly ever even stated, for the Quantum Principle.\u0026nbsp; Today this is naturally inferred from a well-known polarization study of Malus in 1805.\u0026nbsp; Problems\u0026nbsp; like \u0022spooky action at a distance\u0022, ``state vector collapse\u0022,\u0026nbsp; and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen \u0022paradox\u0022 are penalties for\u0026nbsp; disrespecting the Quantum Principle.\u0026nbsp; If Time permits,\u0026nbsp; I will quantize him too.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The Idea of the Quantum: or, How to Avoid the Feeling that You Don\u0027t Understand the Quantum Theory"}],"uid":"27664","created_gmt":"2013-11-22 12:49:37","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:05:53","author":"Alison Morain","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2013-11-23T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2013-11-23T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2013-11-23T11:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2013-11-23 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2013-11-23 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2013-11-23 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"126011","name":"School of Physics"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:alison.morain@physics.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ealison.morain@physics.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
