THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE QUANTUM
A provocative analysis of the history of quantum mechanics in six short podcasts.
Six more podcasts will be released in November 2025 on ontology or what is real as opposed to what is mathematically expedient following the insights of the physicist-philosophers such as Faraday, Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, J. J. Thomson, Eddington, Schrödinger and others.
THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE QUANTUM
The Ultra-Violet Catastrophe or a Storm in a Teacup
The first of six podcasts in the search of the true identity of the quantum: is it a particle or a wave or both; or a mathematical entity which has some utility in solving equations. The remaining podcasts in this series are:
2. Einstein's Other Blunder – the photo-electric effect misinterpretation
3. Heisenberg, the Salieri of Physics – how Heisenberg sabotaged his rival Schrödinger
4. Quantum Circus: Jumps and Spins – questions the Bohr model of the atom
5. Magic Particles – examines the concept of entanglement or 'spooky action at a distance'
6. The Quantum Cat meets the Quantum Computer – how both are chimeras
