The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBohr tells a Cambridge lecture hall that quantum physics is not progress but a new way to understand reality. Einstein opened the door; they are only peering through. After class, a tutor introduces J. Robert Oppenheimer. Bohr remembers the only good question, asked once at Harvard and again here, and says the young man can now lift the stone and face the snake. Then the advice: leave the beakers, go to Göttingen, study theory under Max Born. A mentor sending a gifted student away from the lab.
