Recenzii
In this delightful set of word portraits, Jeremy Bernstein reveals how the likes of Albert Einstein, Neils Bohr, John Bell and other scientists have wrestled with the mysteries of quantum physics. John Wheeler's remark, 'The quantum is the crack in the armor that covers the secret of existence,' is but one in a wonderful collection of insights.
In this essential new edition, my favorite essays are about Viki Weisskopf and Phillip Frank. Bernstein wonderfully focuses on why these two physicists are so important, and he offers interesting stories about their personal qualities.
Bernstein provides unique insights into the personalities of scientists he has known. His descriptions of Einstein and Bohr's differences over what the late John Bell called the 'rotten' state of quantum mechanics, and of Bell's own contributions, are masterly.
