While for the student whose interests are cultural, or who is to enter any of the professions directly or indirectly related to physics, such as engineering, chemistry, astronomy, or mathematics, an account of modern physics which gives the origin of current theories is likely to be quite as interesting and valuable as in a categorical statement of the theories themselves. Indeed, in all branches of human knowledge the ‘why’ is an absolutely indispensable accompaniment to the ‘what.’ ‘Why?’ is the proverbial question of childhood. ‘Why?\* inquires the thoughtful (!) student in classroom or lecture hall. \*Why?’ demands the venerable scientist when listening to an exposition of views held by a colleague
