Lord Kelvin declared physics was basically finished in 1900, and then Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger, and Planck promptly rolled up like a quantum wrecking crew. It's like saying "the library is complete" right before someone invents the internet. Kelvin's "nothing new to discover" statement might be the greatest scientific face-plant in history—right up there with "heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible" and "I'll never need more than 640K of RAM." The quantum revolution wasn't just coming—it was already honking its horn at the intersection.
