Faust in Copenhagen (translated Documentary)
About This Novel
April 1932, Niels Bohr's institute in Copenhagen. About 40 scientists gathered here to discuss the future of physics without restraint, enjoying the annual opportunity to work, socialize, chat, and push and annoy each other. They really had so much to talk about because this was a crucial turning point for science, for their careers, and for the history of their respective countries. Scientists call 1932 the "miracle year" because this year not only witnessed the discovery of neutrons and antimatter, but also achieved the first artificially induced nuclear transmutation in history. These major discoveries heralded the arrival of the nuclear age and the emergence of big science. However, while scientists were rejoicing, Europe was unstoppably falling into the abyss of totalitarianism and war.
