The era of ambiguity - the years of bright and dark physics 1895 - 1945

The Age of Uncertainty - The Years of Bright and Dark Physics 1895 - 1945 :Author: Tobias HörtterLanguage: ArabicPublication date: 2024Book format: PaperbackPublisher: Juice Books for Translation, Publishing, and DistributionNumber of pages: 352Description: 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 Hörtter describes this era and the incredible biographies of scientific geniuses in an exciting and easy way. It shows how closely interconnected science and global events are. Because we cannot observe the world without changing it. Marie Curie, Planck, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, and Einstein did not ignite a revolution in physics only, but also reinvented our world and shaped our contemporary reality. They were rational adventurers, astonishing, or obsessed, sharing deep friendships and bitter rivalries. The often 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 worldview of physics, which remains not fully understood to this day. But the era of relativity and quantum mechanics was also an era of wars and revolutions. The discovery of radioactivity revolutionized science, ultimately leading to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki catastrophes. Tobias Hörtter tells us in "The Age of Uncertainty" that science and global events cannot be separated, because you cannot see the world without changing it.
