Let's meet and discuss Michael Frayn's play Copenhagen with Rom guiding us through the atomic age.
**About Copenhagen**
For most people, the principles of nuclear physics are not only incomprehensible but inhuman. The popular image of the men who made the bomb is of dispassionate intellects who calculated their way to a weapon whose devastating power they could not even imagine. However, in his award-winning play Copenhagen, Michael Frayn shows us these men as passionate, philosophical, and all too human. One of the three historical figures in his drama, Werner Heisenberg, was the head of the Nazis' effort to develop a nuclear weapon. The play's other two characters, the Danish physicist Niels Bohr and his wife, Margrethe, are involved with Heisenberg in an after-death analysis of an actual meeting that has long puzzled historians. In 1941, the German scientist visited Bohr, his former mentor and long-time friend, in Copenhagen. After a brief discussion in the Bohrs' home, the two men went for a short walk. The content of their conversation during this walk and its implications have remained a mystery, despite both scientists providing conflicting accounts later on. Frayn cleverly uses the scientific principles of atomic physics to explore how an individual's perspective renders attempts to discover the ultimate truth of any human interaction fundamentally impossible.
