Amendment to my last post:

[Guest guest]

Sorry wrote that when I was way too tired. I did not mean to suggest

that Einstein fathered quantum mechanics. In fact Einstein hated the

idea of quantum mechanics (and hence his famous quote " God does not

play dice " ) – but his revolutionary idea i.e. that light can consist

of either a particle or a wave, aka the photoelectric effect,

challenged Newtonian physics and influenced many scientists

thereafter, thereby changing the Newtonian paradigm of physics (and it

was thanks to Einstein that Heisenburg was able to develop his theory

of the uncertainty principle which had a great influence on the way we

view the position and movement of the electron within the atom, so in

a way Heisenburg was the father of quantum mechanics).
