The discovery of quantum mechanics is one of the most exciting incidents in the intellectual history of man. It marks the synthesis of contributions from many brilliant men who assembled different facets into a unified and coherent theory. The result is more than the sum total of their individual contributions. It is also a new paradigm, a programme which has been the starting point of innumerable extensions into all areas of physics.
