One day, after Einstein had asked for the umpteenth time if Bohr really believed God played dice to determine the future, a smile dawned on Bohr’s face. “Einstein,” he said, “stop telling God how to run the world.”This is the best book I've seen on quantum physics for bringing the physicists themselves to life. Here the development of the theory becomes a very human story. This is a great read.
Here is my own take on a part of this adventure, the first and only finished play in a proposed quartet: The Sadness of Einstein. Peter Fornara was supposed to direct it at his Cubiculo Theatre -- but the theater went belly up first. Then a Seattle theater was going to showcase it in a new play festival -- and lost their funding. The play appears to be jinxed.
