The era of ambiguity - the years of bright and dark physics

The Age of Uncertainty by Tobias Hürter ... From Marie Curie to Max Planck, and from Einstein to Heisenberg - reinventing the world. The golden age of physics revolutionized our thinking and the world. Tobias Hürter describes this era and the remarkable biographies of scientific geniuses in an exciting and easy way. It shows how closely connected science and global events are. Because we cannot observe the world without changing it. Marie Curie, Planck, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, and Einstein did not only ignite a revolution in physics but also reinvented our world and shaped our contemporary reality. They were rational adventurers or astonishing or obsessed, sharing deep friendships and bitter rivalries. The intersecting life paths of these thinkers are a rich treasure of great stories. At the same time, their research sparked an unexpected scientific push that led to a new vision of physics, which remains not fully understood to this day. But the age of relativity and quantum mechanics was also an age of wars and revolutions. The discovery of radioactivity revolutionized science, ultimately leading to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki catastrophes. Tobias Hürter tells us in "The Age of Uncertainty" that science cannot be separated from global events because you cannot see the world without changing it.
