    16:58Why general relativity would’ve been discovered without Einstein | Sean Carroll
    • Niels Bohr says, "I can explain the different sizes of the orbits of the electrons in the atoms." Louis de Broglie says, "It's even better if you imagine that those electrons are waves rather than particles." Werner Heisenberg says, "I can invent a theory using matrices that explains exactly what's going on." Max Born and Pascal Jordan say, "We can improve the mathematics of Heisenberg's theory to make it more general." Erwin Schrödinger comes along and says, "We can replace the matrices by waves." And then Max Born comes again and says, "Actually, these are useful for predicting probabilities." Wolfgang Pauli says there's something called spin,
