The Quantum Realm of the Microcosm

Major scientific achievements usually prove durable, it's just that from time to time some partial revision or conceptual extension is called forEinstein, Albertand quantum theory*. SoQuantum theoryand Einstein* Newtonian mechanics and the laws of universal attraction remain valid, even though both special and general relativity pointed out weaknesses in them under certain conditions, and the need for time, space and gravity to be viewed differently. In a similar manner, a few decades after the wave nature of light and electromagnetic radiation were confirmed, some new experimental data showed up gaps that still existed. A better or different explanation seemed necessary.
