  <body><![CDATA[<h5>School of Physics Inquiring Minds Public Lecture Series: Dr. David Finkelstein, Georgia Tech</h5><p>To accept Special Relativity we give up Absolute Time. What do we give up to accept Quantum Theory?&nbsp; After all these years Heisenberg's 1925 discovery paper for Quantum Theory is still opaque, in contrast to&nbsp; Einstein's 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.&nbsp; Today this is naturally inferred from a well-known polarization study of Malus in 1805.&nbsp; Problems&nbsp; like "spooky action at a distance", ``state vector collapse",&nbsp; and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen "paradox" are penalties for&nbsp; disrespecting the Quantum Principle.&nbsp; If Time permits,&nbsp; I will quantize him too.</p>]]></body>
