The fascinating story of the encounter between physics and psychology, illustrated through the life story of a brilliant thinker. Wolfgang Pauli: the physicist who was the first to dare to leave behind the misleading intuitions of conventional physics. And who, at the forefront of research, simultaneously sought the wisdom of older worldviews. Ernst Peter Fischer narrates - with sarcastic anecdotes and brilliant excursions into nuclear physics - the most mysterious chapter of this visionary of a new worldview. It is about the recovery of a way of thinking that seeks unity with nature. Biography: Wolfgang Pauli, born in 1900 in Vienna, wrote a multi-hundred-page handbook article on the then brand-new, barely understood theory of relativity by Albert Einstein at the age of 20. He quickly became a conversation partner of Bohr, Heisenberg, Delbrück, and others.
