Unit 3: Patterns in the Properties of Matter


“In 1906, J.J. Thomson had received the Nobel Price for proving that electrons are particles; in 1937 he saw his son awarded the Nobel Prize for proving that electrons are waves. Both father and son were correct, and both awards were fully merited. Electrons are particles; electrons are waves.”

John Gribbin, from In Search of Schrodinger's Cat
