Werner Heisenberg Ordre des livres

This collection contains a new publication of the Heisenberg, Born, Schroedinger and Auger, On Modern Physics and the Nobel lectures of Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schroedinger and Max Born.In this collection three Nobel laureates and a renowned authority on space exploration discuss a wide range of issues - from lessons that can be learned from the ancient Greek philosophers, to the advancements in fundamental physics in the twentieth century, to the dark implications of scientific discoveries, to the methods and limits of scientific knowledge - in a language that is understandable by a wide audience.

Exploring the intersection of philosophy and science, this text delves into Heisenberg's reflections on the nature of reality and the implications of quantum mechanics. As a prominent figure in 20th-century science, Heisenberg articulates his thoughts on how our understanding of the physical world shapes our perception of reality. This English translation offers readers a unique opportunity to engage with his groundbreaking ideas and the philosophical questions they raise, making it an essential read for those interested in science and philosophy.

Personal letters reveal the quandary of a prominent German physicist during the Nazi years and the strength he shared with his loving wife Nobel Prize-winning physicist Werner Heisenberg lived far from his wife, Elisabeth, during most of the Second World War. An eminent scientist, Werner headed Germany's national atomic research project in Berlin, while Elisabeth and their children lived more safely in Bavaria. This selection of more than 300 letters exchanged between husband and wife reveals the precarious nature of Werner's position in the Third Reich, Elisabeth's increasingly difficult everyday life as the war progressed, and the devoted relationship that gave strength to them both. These letters provide a fascinating new perspective on Werner's much-debated wartime work and his attitude toward the atomic bomb. They also shed light on his reluctance to emigrate despite the urging of friends. An excerpt from his private diary, an introduction and notes by his daughter, and a selection of personal family photographs complete this compelling volume.

Le idee quantistiche, per quanto insolite possano sembrare, non sono invenzioni delle menti dei fisici. Sono l'ineluttabile risultato raggiunto dopo anni di tentativi di inquadrare i nuovi fatti nei vecchi schemi. In "Mutamenti nelle basi della scienza" sono raccolte nove conferenze, pensate proprio per descrivere al grande pubblico le novità della fisica; qui Werner Heisenberg dispiega con chiarezza espositiva cristallina la nascita e lo sviluppo della meccanica quantistica e spiega come la fisica moderna conduce a un centro in cui il mondo, ossia la materia e l'energia, trova la sua armonia.

In schwieriger Zeit: Der große Physiker ganz privat Als Werner Heisenberg 1937 Elisabeth Schumacher begegnet, ist er 35 Jahre alt, seit zehn Jahren Professor für theoretische Physik in Leipzig, 1933 hat er den Nobelpreis erhalten. Doch gut geht es ihm nicht: Er ist einsam, die politische Situation und der beginnende Exodus deutscher Wissenschaftler bedrücken ihn; er wird als „weißer Jude“ beschimpft, weil er in seinen Vorlesungen Einsteins Relativitätstheorie vertritt. Nur 14 Tage nach dem Kennenlernen ist das Paar verlobt, wenige Monate später verheiratet. Kurz nach Kriegsausbruch wird Heisenberg mit dem „Uranprojekt“ beauftragt; seine junge, wachsende Familie sieht er nur noch selten. Der Briefwechsel zeigt das innige Bemühen, über alle Widrigkeiten und Entfernungen hinweg das Leben miteinander zu teilen. Ergänzt mit bislang unveröffentlichten Tagebuchaufzeichnungen aus den letzten Kriegstagen, ist er das berührende Zeugnis des ganz Zeit einen Rückzugsort sicherte.

Este texto, escrito pelo físico alemão Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976) durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, somente foi publicado vários anos após a sua morte. 'A Ordenação da Realidade' é de interesse especial, não apenas devido às condições em que foi produzido, mas principalmente pelo modo segundo o qual Heisenberg defendeu algumas teses, dificilmente encontradas em outros trabalhos de sua autoria.
