Lazy Researcher Review - Listen Albert Einstein Vs Neil Bohr, Schroedinger vs that student who basically inspired him to go on a ski trip and theorize on that cat, Einstein Vs Schroedinger, etc etc. Quantum Theory and Quantum Mechanics is so dramatic I'd pay to watch theorists go mad and enter the ring. Wave vs Duality.

"Einstein could not accept the outrageous randomness and unknowability of quantum mechanics, so he attacked the theory by devising a series of ingenious thought experiments". (Daniel Brühl can play Neil Bohr in the film)

Information Accessibility scale :
Let's talk level of effort here: Passive vs Active. (1 being the easiest it could be, just vibing taking it all in and 5 meaning you need to dust out that diploma, maybe a degree to make sense of it)
■1.Bob Ross- don't overthink it, paint it and just enjoy vibe.
■2. Crash Course TV: Phil Plait and team bite-size digestible chunks
■3.Bill Nye, Neil de Grasse Tyson glossy tv style appeal, a touch data bulky but very edutaining ******
■4.Feynman, Hawking, Einstein, Kaku, Curie data, concept, theory heavy
■5.Christopher Nolan gloriously mind-bending, time-bending, sanity-bending
LEVEL: We are nesting at 3

Rabbithole Worthy or Nah? :
It's Quantumn Theory. "Most theories are built on a solid foundation of first principles – not so quantum theory" and doesn't that just pique your curiosity?

If you're even a teenie tiny bit scifi inclined, maybe you trued to build a faraday cage as a kid or you're into Discworld or you watched the movie about the atom bomb with Cillian Murphy in it (don't make me say it) or whatever - this is the rabbithole you'll gladly fall into. Red shoes on, no Kansas in sight.

Spotlight on Theorists : 
Legends of this field emerged from the Solvay Conference in Brussels where 17 attendees would go on to become Nobel Peace Prize Winners.
□"Quantum theory has never failed an experimental test. [...] Even today, we know of no natural law that prevents quantum mechanics from being true at the level of the universe.". (Vindication! )

Significant Concept :
■Faraday's Magic vs Einsteins complaint of "Spooky Magic" vs Schroedinger's Cat
■ Dueling over Duality: Wave vs Particle, Philosophers Vs Physicists.
■ Hilbert Space
■Quantum Revolution

Snore inducing or Willing All-nighter :
Well I read it in one sitting and it didn't sit like indigestion so you could easily add on more resources to the topic or veer off in another direction. Or watch a movie and think about it later.

OVERALL: So many theories, so little time (but time is a daydream) so here are the basics.
🖤Einsteins paper on photoelectric effect is a major propeller for QM
🖤Schroedinger's cat exposed the absurdity of QM.
🖤Planck aka Grandpa QM noted quanta - energy in discrete packets,
🖤Durac took Heisenberg, Schroedinger's, Einstein theories and married them leading to antiparticles
🖤Wolfgang Pauli and his principle of exclusion leading to our understanding of matter.
🖤Arthur Compton - yeah he was missing from the Oppenheimer movie despite playing a key role in the Manhattan Project
🖤De Broglie among other things is a founding father of CERN.
