This principle of "Indeterminance," a violent blow to the old deterministic laws of Cause & Effect, went unchallenged until two months ago when another German, Professor Max Born, effected a reconciliation of quantum theory with the classical Maxwell equations-whereby, Professor Born claimed, the prediction of both velocity...

Students who find that they have made a mistake must undergo the awkward and wasteful process of transference. Others may not discover their error until too late, and remain bitter critics of the field in which an unhappy guess has placed them.
