...physicists' excitement comes partly from the intellectual pleasure of seeing an important scientific loose end tied up at last. When Einstein first suggested the idea of BEC back in the 1920s, building on the work of the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, quantum mechanics was a new and controversial field. Among its stranger assertions -- long since confirmed -- was that atoms and other elementary particles can also be thought of as waves. The waves are really waves of probability, which describe where an atom is most likely to be at a given moment (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle dictates that...
