Notices by Felienne (felienne@mastodon.social)

If you are standing on the beach, what decides if you fall over, the amplitude of the waves or the frequency?

Does this (approximate) quote ring a bell for anyone? I am looking for a book that I read as a teenager (so it must be written before 2000) on the history of physics and "waves versus particles".

I am pretty sure I read it in Dutch, but it might very well have been a translation. Anyone has any ideas?

Would love to find this book and read it again.
