The Quantum Leap – Wave-Particle Duality

  • サマリー

  • What do glowing ovens, spooky electrons, and a French prince have in common? They all helped shatter our understanding of reality. This episode unpacks the rise of quantum mechanics—aka the most successful, most confusing theory in all of science.
    It all starts with Max Planck's "oops" fix for a physics meltdown, which turns into the idea that energy comes in tiny, indivisible lumps. Then Einstein goes full rebel and claims light isn’t just a wave—it’s also a particle.
    Mind. Blown. But wait—it gets wilder.
    Louis de Broglie flips the script again by proposing that matter—yes, even YOU—has wave-like properties. We’ll walk through iconic experiments, from the photoelectric effect to electron diffraction, that prove the universe doesn’t play by classical rules.
    This is where reality stops being intuitive and starts being... quantum.
    By the end, you’ll see why Feynman said, “If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't.”
