Auditorium (MPI Physics)

In April 1932 many of the greats of theoretical physics such as Bohr, Dirac and Heisenberg gathered for an informal week-long discussion about quantum mechanics and how the subject was affected by the new discoveries in nuclear physics. The meeting ended with the youngest in attendance presenting a skit in which they parodied Goethe's Faust as adapted to the world of physics.
