Chapter 14 postscript

This series on quantum theory has been written since last year, during which due to various reasons (including my incredible laziness), the writing stopped, and it took almost a year to complete it.What needs to be thanked most is the extraordinary enthusiasm and support of the readers, otherwise I would probably give up halfway. The scale of my initial conception was just a minimal introduction of 40,000 to 50,000 words. Unexpectedly, I gradually couldn’t hold back the pen. When I finally finished it, there were more than 200 pages and 250,000 words in my Word. At that time, I really didn’t dare imagine.This is not a professional science popularization. In fact, I pay more attention to the historical aspects than the scientific aspects, but readers can get a basic scientific concept of quantum theory in it.I tried to make it a very accessible read, in fact, I just assume that the reader has middle school math and a little high school physics knowledge (if you have above level and still can't understand something, it must be my writing problem ^_^).Even if you don't understand mathematics at all, I hope you can get some inspiration from it.But inevitably, the use of everyday language will make some descriptions seem far-fetched and do not conform to the concept of physics.So again, this is not a professional science popularization. If you want to get a better and more accurate understanding of quantum theory, you should refer to some professional books.God is a mathematician, and the only language that can describe the universe is mathematics!Our history is not a professional history of science, it is just a reading for you to enjoy after dinner. If someone proves some great theories with this series, I will be flattered and unable to bear it.In fact, I am a layman like you. As long as you can share with me some of the excitement and surprises brought about by quantum theory, I will be satisfied.

This series was completed on the Internet in my spare time. Firstly, there is a problem with the standard, and secondly, after all, spare time is limited, so there are undoubtedly a large number of bugs.Although I tried my best to make the description consistent with history and facts (generally speaking, except for some obvious fictional plots, the historical scenes in this article are based), but there are some places where I really failed to consult more information for further verification (such as I once wanted to finish the six big books on the history of the development of quantum mechanics, but in the end I left some unread).I have found some mistakes, which will be corrected in future revisions, and I hope you can point out more places.In addition, because it took a long time to write, it was not well planned. For example, only four sections were written in the fourth chapter, but some important aspects were forgotten to be described, or they could not be inserted into the existing narrative structure.Such as Bose-Einstein statistics, Stern-Gerlach experiment, quantum cryptography, and so on.Now this is just the first draft, some chapters are very long-winded, some places are boring, some metaphors are inexplicable, there are also some translation problems of nouns, and some traces of patchwork. When revising, I will try to solve these problems and add some illustrations .

I intentionally keep the writing style close to the context of my peers, that is, the style of the 1970s and 1980s.It's kind of a hack, since these are the main demographics on the web, but I'm glad it has some web flair.For the sake of readability, without changing the basic facts, I sometimes make a little exaggeration (for example, the Bohr-Einstein dispute in history may not be as dramatic as I described) , I apologize for this and hope it doesn't damage readers' confidence in me.This text is mainly popular on the Internet (because some people repost it, so it seems to be widely circulated), some readers hope that it can be published, maybe someone is really willing to publish it after revision, but due to my low efficiency, this day Seems like a long way off, lol.

Finally, send this post to that girl to give back those lovely smiles she once gave me. 2004.5
