There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

To accept Special Relativity we give up Absolute Time. What do we give up to accept Quantum Theory? After all these years Heisenberg's 1925 discovery paper for Quantum Theory is still opaque, in contrast to Einstein's for Special Relativity. In hindsight, to accept Quantum Theory we must give up the Classical Principle, which is hardly ever even stated, for the Quantum Principle. Today this is naturally inferred from a well-known polarization study of Malus in 1805. Problems like "spooky action at a distance", ``state vector collapse", and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen "paradox" are penalties for disrespecting the Quantum Principle. If Time permits, I will quantize him too.
