In 1923, Louis de Broglie published a brief note in the journal Comptes rendus containing an idea that was to revolutionize our understanding of the physical would at the most fundamental level. He has been troubled by a curious "contradiction" arising from Einstein's special theory of relativity. De Broglie noted that relativity theory predicts that, when such a particle is set in motion, its total relativistic energy will increase, tending to infinity as the speed of light is approached.
