In a few instances, editorial clarifications have been added. The footage was taped by Cornell Information Technologies (CIT) Distributed Learning Services. Michael Allmendinger was producer/director; Edward Hershey of Cornell Communication and Marketing Services, executive producer; and Dale Corson, technical advisor.Run time: 49 minutes.The contents of the "Quantum Physics Made (Relatively) Simple" were originally presented alongside a website, and are intended to both present the lectures in context online, and to facilitate the creation of DVDs of this material.Formalized during a burst of intellectual activity during the 1920s, quantum theory had immediate success explaining experimental results in atomic and nuclear physics. However, physicists were aware that much work remained to clarify the conceptual foundations of the theory. In Lecture 3, Professor Bethe recalls work on the interpretation of the wave function, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and the Pauli Exclusion Principle. He shows how quantum theory forced discussion of issues such as determinism, physical observables, and action-at-a-distance.en-USquantam physicsHans Bethevideo/moving image
