Uncertain Principles

Synopsis: Explores wave-particle duality, one of the main concepts of quantum physics. Tells how the particle-like nature of the electron was discovered in 1897 and how its wave-like nature was demonstrated some 30 years later. Also focuses on the Solvay Conference of 1927, at which many of the important scientists of the day met to discuss the new ideas of quantum physics.

They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
