QUANTA AND REALITY

on Third Programme

The physicist's description of matter
1: PARTICLES AND WAVES by A. B. Pippard , F.R.s. Plummer Professor of Physics University of Cambridge
Opinions may differ on the interpretation of the Quantum Theory, but nobody doubts the experimental basis. The fundamental units of matter behave in ways quite remote from everyday experience, and any understanding of the theory must start with the facts. Professor Pippard describes some experiments that have led to our state of ' knowledge without understanding.'
