“Two phenomena in particular triggered the quantum revolution: the photoelectric effect and the structure of the atom.”
Robert Oerter, The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics

“If you have never read about quantum mechanics before (perhaps even if you have), you will no doubt find it confusing, maybe incomprehensible. If you do, take heart! As the brilliant (and Nobel prize-winning) physicist Richard Feynman put it: It is my task to convince you not to turn away because you don’t understand it. You see, my physics students don’t understand it either. That’s because I don’t understand it. Nobody does.”
Robert Oerter, The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics

“Quantum mechanics completely overturned the classical worldview.”
Robert Oerter, The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics
