However, while physicists celebrated these momentous discoveries&#151;which presaged the era of big science and nuclear bombs&#151;Europe was moving inexorably toward totalitarianism and war. In April of that year, about forty of the world's leading physicists&#151;including Werner Heisenberg, Lise Meitner, and Paul Dirac&#151;came to Niels Bohr's Copenhagen Institute for their annual informal meeting about the frontiers of physics. <BR><BR> Physicist Gino Segrè brings to life this historic gathering, which ended with a humorous skit based on Goethe's <I>Faust</I>&#151;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, Segrè evokes the moment when physics&#151;and the world&#151;was about to lose its innocence. 1212069 14 6 2007 Faust in Copenhagen: A Struggle for the Soul of Physics total:44|5:11|4:19|3:10|2:4|1:0| 44 169 82 15 1223568 067003858X 9780670038589 42 14 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182016657m/1223568.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1223568.Faust_in_Copenhagen_A_Struggle_for_the_Soul_of_Physics 2 1 false Mon Nov 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jul 10 01:18:52 -0700 2007 Mon Nov 10 01:07:56 -0800 2008
