Abstract
The theory of relativity has changed our way of thinking about the structure of space—time. Nevertheless it has resulted in a fully coherent and consistent picture. Quantum mechanics on the other hand has revolutionized our thinking about physics. It has degraded physicists back to the level of shamans applying rules that they do not fully understand themselves. It took them a quarter of a century (1900–1925) to discover these rules which will be discussed below [16–22].
