- Revisits Einstein’s 100-year-old revolutionary theory of gravitational waves and Heisenberg's contributions to quantum physics, in light of recent groundbreaking experiments in the field that prove these waves exist
- Written by an internationally renowned experimental physicist
- Appeals to anybody curious about the history behind technology we take for granted, from small objects like computers and lasers to larger projects like spacecraft and nuclear energy
- Debunks the myths surrounding these two legendary scientists

About this book
Reviews
“It is a fascinating read for everybody interested in the science and culture of their time. … This is an ambitious book, which tells the story of the birth of modern physics in a well-documented and well-illustrated way. The author has managed brilliantly to do this in a serious, but nevertheless entertaining, way, which will make the book a pleasant read for all.” (Peter Jenni, CERN Courier, cerncourier.com, Vol. 60 (2), 2020)
