Civilisation Transformed: The Impact of Quantum Mechanics
by Professor Geoffrey Opat
School of Physics, University of Melbourne
Wednesday 1 November 2000
8:00 pm Physics Theatre 2, University of Tasmania Hobart
The year 2000 marks the centennial of the founding of quantum
mechanics by Max Planck. The profound change in human thought that
followed its introduction transformed the whole of science: physical,
chemical, biological, and technological. The Civilisation of the
Twenty First Century would be totally unrecognisable without it.
