Rene, the flimsiest of coincidences perhaps: very recently watched a TV
production of an extraordinary dramatisation (by Michael Frayn) of the
mythic meeting between Heisenberg and Bohr in 1941 at Bohr's home in
Copenhagen. Again tales of philosophy and politics and war and a certain
heroic sacrifice...


   Michael,
  
   Could tell more? I don't trust any story anymore, certainly not the
   allied versions. Have heard Eminem's "I've got braindamage"? He's
   right again. We've been thoroughly brainwashed.

   Even Heidegger's Spiegel interview was manipulated after his death.
   
   How do we ever find back to some decency? When even great men like
   Fichte and Goethe warned, but could not prevent.

   Rene

   Did someone say: Einstein?



I might write again on this marvellous piece (I'm now rereading Heisenberg's
'Physics and Philosophy').

regards

mP
