Welcome to the next session of interviews on MattiMathics...

Today's topic: the quantum leap.
Which in my reckoning is the locus/focus of freedom of choice.

Here are some thoughts which i'd like to bring into our interview, about the quantum.

My core idea/belief is that physics is simple; but - just as you said - we need to somehow imagine it correctly. Once we can see it for what it is, nature is logical, and simple.

That means that it all starts with a simple thought, an imagination; for Planck that apparently was in the form of dreams. He corresponded about this with Jung. Quantum theory was (literally) dreamed up.

That is also what Richard Feynman seems to be all about: see(k)ing that utter simplicity. And representing it in a concise graphical manner.

Maybe, in that way, we could also start with your imagination/visualisation/representation.

Then, in the second part of the interview, maybe address what you needed to formulate that vision in mathematics.
And how you needed to trim mathematical models for that purpose, to get them to work.

The third part of the interview then could be about what that made possible; how others can now see that also.
But, for the listener, with the understanding that the math is merely 'the coat hanger' for the image/idea/ideal: the picture.
