>It's paradoxical and yet, it worksWhy is he explaining particle-wave duality to a grad student? Wouldn't he already know ts?
Griffiths wasn’t written yet.
>>16810747It's a movie, hes explaining it to you which is clearly necessary when you struggle with basic stuff like this.
>>16810747Its 1940 and basic quantum was cutting edge
>>16810814>point out that what he's explaining is trivial>HAHA U DONT UNDERSTAND ITOk
>>16810747So what you’re telling me is professor, you can’t explain it?
>>16810814You don't need to understand particle wave duality to learn about the Manhattan project, THOUGH, this scene's purpose is to characterize Oppy.
>>16810929His first year teaching physics at Berkley was 1929. Wave-particle duality as an idea was only five years old at this point, and the electron scattering experiment that provided the first experimental evidence of electrons exhibiting wave-like behavior was like the year or two before this.Being in this class would be like listening to Newton lecture in 1690 - everything was brand fucking new.
