Great article on an interesting topic.<p>The article mentions the great Physicist, Prof. S.N.Bose's take in a lecture delivered to the Indian Science Congress in 1944. It is titled "The Classical Determinism and The Quantum Theory".<p>The corresponding pdf can be found at Prof.S.N.Bose archive under Section 6 "Documents" titled "Presidential address at the Indian Science Congress, Delhi,1944 [Current Science, Vol XIII, No. 1]" - <a href="https://www.bose.res.in/Prof.S.N.Bose-Archive/" rel="nofollow">https://www.bose.res.in/Prof.S.N.Bose-Archive/</a><p>Prof. S.N.Bose is the Physics great after whom "Bosons", "Bose-Einstein Statistics", "Bose-Einstein Condensate" and even "Higgs Boson" are named - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satyendra_Nath_Bose" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satyendra_Nath_Bose</a>
