ABSTRACT
In his illuminating books on quantum theory, John Polkinghorne reconstructs the complex process of discoveries that led to this scientific revolution in modern physics. Brilliant scientists from various countries had paved the way for the new theory. The sequence of discoveries is marked by physicists such as James Clerk Maxwell, Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, Arthur Compton, Werner Heisenberg, Louis de Broglie, Erwin Schrödinger, Max Born, Paul Dirac and Richard Feynman – to name only the most glorious dozen! 1
