Résumé
The seeds of the shift currently taking place in science were sown years ago, in 1925-7. That's when a dramatic two-year revolution in physics reached a climax, and scientists are still trying to resolve the problem, started then, of unifying… the classical and quantum worlds. Describes the rush to formalize quantum physics, the work of just a handful of men fired by ambition, philosophical conflicts and personal agendas. c2008.
