The recent detection of gravitational waves at LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) has captured the imagination of the public. It will stand as one of the great feats of experimental physics, alongside the famous Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887 which it resembles. In fact by comparing...

The probabilistic interpretation of Schrödinger’s equation eventually led to the uncertainty principle of Quantum Mechanics, formulated in 1926 by Werner Heisenberg. This principle states that an electron, or any other particle, can never have its exact position known, or even specified. More precisely, Heisenberg derived...
