Einstein's Dice and Schrödinger's Cat / Dr. Paul Halpern. (How two great thinkers fought to create a unified theory of physics!) Allies and rivals... This book tells the story of two brilliant minds in physics, the media war that destroyed their decades-long friendship, and the fragile nature of scientific collaboration and discovery. The two scientists shared several similar circumstances when they faced each other. Both had won the Nobel Prize, were middle-aged, and had certainly passed the peak of their important work. However, the international press covered a completely different story. It was a familiar tale of a seasoned, still-vital fighter against a newcomer hungry for titles. While Albert Einstein's fame was widespread and his every word was eagerly picked up by the media, relatively few readers were familiar with the work of the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger. Those who followed Einstein's career knew that he had spent several decades developing a unified field theory. In this book, physicist Paul Halpern tells a little-known story of how Einstein and Schrödinger, first as collaborators and later as rivals, pursued a groundbreaking theory of quantum physics. Their ultimately unsuccessful search offers readers new insights into the history of physics and the lives and work of two scientists whose passion led them to astonishing discoveries.
