Resenhas - Uncertainty

prof.vinic 17/10/2014

Very good book about science history
Very interesting book, it shows the history about the maybe most important principle of 20s century, the Uncertainty Principle. It shows us too, some problems concern this idea ... everybody knows the Einstein sentence about that "God doesn't play dice", but there was much more things.

The author did a profound research about the personal life of these scientists and how the world around then, specially the 2nd World War, changed their lives. This isn't a usual to do in such books, but I believe it's a very nice way to understand the men behind the science. There is only a little problem here, if you don't know anything about quantum mechanic read this book can be a bit tricky, but nothing impossible.
