Fervor Of The Minds: Albert Einstein, Kurt Godel and Friends at Princeton (1942-2007) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517126759)

In 1942, Albert Einstein and Kurt Godel, the greatest physicist and mathematician of all time, at Princeton University, met with John Wheeler and Niels Bohr, the co-inventor, with Werner Heisenberg, then in Germany working with Albert Speer, of quantum mechanics. At the time the U.S. was in a race for world domination by the construction and using in WW2 of an atomic bomb, with Hitler and Nazi Germany. This is the story of their meetings, at a dinner at Einstein's home, where these brilliant scientists described how they invented special and general relativity, incompleteness, and quantum mechanics, then later how they all returned from the grave to review what had been done to their concepts and their opinions for the future of the Universe.
