Publisher's Summary

Discover the remarkable life of Werner Heisenberg...
Werner Heisenberg was one of the greatest physicists of all time. He probed the depths of not just science but the nature of our very existence. His groundbreaking work in quantum mechanics, particularly the formulation of the uncertainty principle, revolutionized our understanding of the subatomic world and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932.

With his mind firmly focused on things beyond normal perception, Heisenberg tried to stay above the political fray. Yet with the rise of Nazi Germany, he suddenly found himself trapped inside the depths of a totalitarian regime. Open resistance would have meant his death, so he kept his head down and did what he could to affect change from within the belly of the beast. After the war, Heisenberg became a key figure in the reconstruction of German science and advocated for peaceful uses of nuclear technology. This is his life—this is his story.
