Eine epische Geschichte der großen Zeit der Physik und ihrer leuchtenden Gestalten. Sie waren intellektuelle Abenteurer, Dandys oder Nerds, die tiefe Freundschaften und erbitterte Feindschaften miteinander verbanden. Die bedeutendsten Physiker und Physikerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts haben einen ungeahnten wissenschaftlichen Schub ausgelöst, der zu einem neuen Weltbild der Physik führte, welches sich uns bis heute nicht vollständig erschließt. Doch das Zeitalter der Relativitätstheorie und der Quantenmechanik war auch das Zeitalter von Kriegen und Revolutionen.
