基本説明
In April 1932, about forty of the world’s leading physicists, including Werner Heisenberg, Lise Meitner, and Paul Dirac, came to Niels Bohr’s Copenhagen Institute for their annual informal meeting about the frontiers of physics. Physicist Gino Segre brings to life this historic gathering, which ended with a humorous skit based on Goethe’s Faust; a skit that eerily foreshadowed events that would soon unfold. Little did the scientists know the Faustian bargains they would face in the near future. Capturing the interplay between the great scientists as well as the discoveries they discussed and debated, Segre evokes the moment when physics, and the world, was about to lose its innocence.
