It is here, "on this bare, extreme island, blown by the North wind", that Werner Heisenberg destroyed reality as it had been conceived up to that moment, basing his radical ideas on reckless calculations, driven by a fertile and creative climate like few in the world. scientific field.
"Helgoland" is the story of quantum physics, of Heisenberge Bohr, and of its brilliant young founders who would become some of the most famous Nobel Laureates.
It is a celebration of youth rebellion and the intellectual revolution.
The thought of these twenty-year-olds embodies scientific thought, which is in itself visionary and disobedient.
