”In this communication I wish first to show<br />
in the simplest case of the hydrogen atom<br />
(nonrelativistic and undistorted) that the usual rules for<br />
quantization can be replaced by another requirement,<br />
in which mention of ‘whole numbers’ no longer occurs.<br />
Instead the integers occur in the same natural way as<br />
the integers specifying the number of nodes in<br />
a vibrating string. The new conception can be<br />
generalized, and I believe it touches the deepest<br />
meaning of the quantum rules.”<br />
