Because you are dead wrong that is why. There were dozens of seminal
geniuses in physics in the decade from 1900-1935, when quantum theory
was new. Of those I can reel off a few. Bohr, Heisenberg, Schroedinger,
Jordan, Born, Dirac, De Broglie, Pauli. And that is just a subset of
the theoretical types that I can think of off the top of my head.

Quantum theory was not the work of single genius as was relativity
theory. Quantum theory is where the young boys went. They called it "Kid
Physics" in those days because of the young men who participated, many
in their twenties.

Look up Solvay Conference on Google and see who attended.

So you haven't understand yet. The fact that there are many "workers"
in a field doesn't MEAN that there is not a single source. In fact,
all of them had a very genial idea, am I right? And they developed it
to create a whole field; each one contribuing an aspect. And the field
in a way is complete. But also, is there a hierarchy of ideas in their
ideas? That is, do you have a root idea from which stems another, and
until you have that one, comes the other, etc?

I guess not. So pyou are postulating that each one of them "suddenly"
had an intuition that appropriately matched the other aspects until a
complete field appeared... Like several people imagining a form and
when they compare their forms together a regular polyhedron is the
result... I don't think so. By Occam's Razor, which expresses the
fundamental economicity of of Nature, it is easier to accept there was
ONE MIND that had the WHOLE intuition, saw the parts AND their
relationships, and then propagated those aspects to other people to
work them... In this particular example it maskes sense to do that, as
each one can fundament each aspect more quickly than a single
individual. The result is an ALMOST complete field, which just
requires experimental corroborations and a few ideas that CTUALLY stem
from it. I believe it was Bohr the great Physicist...
