When We Cease to Understand the World
Benjamin Labatut, Adrian Nathan West (translation)Albert Einstein opens a letter sent to him from the Eastern Front of World War I. Inside, he finds the first exact solution to the equations of general relativity, unaware that it contains a monster that could destroy his life's work.
°°°
When We Cease to Understand the World shows us great minds striking out into dangerous, uncharted terrain.
Fritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger: these are among the luminaries into whose troubled minds we are thrust as they grapple with the most profound questions of existence. They have strokes of unparalleled genius, they alienate friends & lovers, they descend into isolated states of madness. Some of their discoveries revolutionise our world for the better; others pave the way to chaos & unimaginable suffering. The lines are never clear.
With breakneck pace & wondrous detail, Benjamín Labatut uses the imaginative resources of fiction to break open the stories of scientists & mathematicians who expanded our notions of the possible.
