He'Story'/ Modern Physics
The Era of Classical Physics, and Cracks in its Foundations (Antiquity-1899)
“Old quantum theory” (1900-1924)
Built on the work of Planck, Einstein, Bohr, and Sommerfeld, and others, “old quantum theory” was never fleshed-out as a fully complete or self-consistent theory, but provided a mechanism for performing calculations involving simple systems such as the hydrogen atom. This era also witnessed the birth of the Special and General Theory of Relativity.
The Birth of Modern Quantum Mechanics (1924-1941)
In this period, quantum theory was mathematically formalized.
