Copenhagen

We watched a BBC version of the play "Copenhagen" last night. It was really really good. I highly recommend it to anyone. It discusses the relationship between two of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century, Neils Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, and Neils Bohr's wife. Truly wonderful how the playwright goes back and forth between ghosts in the current day and back to 1941 when Bohr and Heisenberg had their fateful last meeting. Heisenberg is known for his Uncertainty Principle (it is impossible to know both the location and the momentum of a particle at the same time as measuring either aspects changes the other aspect). It is also great how the author weaves Bohr's and Heisenberg's physics into their conversation. Go out and rent the film today! It is awesome.
