I most enthusiastically recommend this book to ANYONE who has ANY single bit of interest in physics in particular, and modern science or even overall modern mode of thought in general: just go straight to the nearest library and grab it. (A 1985 Chinese translation is available: "原子物理与社会", though I doubt if it's in circulation anymore.) A few Wiki skim-overs would prepare you with the scientific background (keywords: quantum mechanics; unified field theory; etc.). Heisenberg is philosophically sophisticated, clear-minded, and occasionally musical and poetic, but still very articulate. Here we see through his intellectual development an honest case report and insightful analysis of the greatest paradigm shift of 20th century science. The discussions on "science and society" are not as stellar, but still worth reading as they are a rare presentation of the situation of scientists in wartime Nazi Germany.
1935之后的章节看得略乏味。战后的章节隐约有一种疏离感。总的来讲算是对话实录,通过记录和友人导师学生的以原子物理为中心发散开来的相关讨论。人大概年轻的时候总是更加可爱吧。感觉最好的时光也在33年那次山中假日后戛然而止。大量涉及哲学和物理的阐述,还是有点难读。泡利可爱!【有时间大概会写一个摘抄+脑洞+感想之类的东西。
真心棒棒
时代背景在那,即便有知己、有畅谈音乐的友人、有物理碰撞的火花,但所要面对的外部环境还是沉重的。 1933年的一天,有位学生来找海森堡敞开心扉聊天。学生加入了Jugendbewegung,问海德堡怎么不愿意参加我们的活动,是老年人的观念吧。关于建设新德国,青年自有其相信的人物(希)。海森堡同青年进行了长谈,互相无法说服对方。这里面有一段提到犹太人。海森堡问:为什么你们要视犹太人为某一特殊种类的人驱离他们,假使有人犯罪,为什么不交给法庭呢?别管什么种族民族。青年的回答是现在这个社会已无公平可言。
