Historically, this period is characterized by deep political, social and economic crises. However, parallel to this and much less known in the public, rational scientific thinking also experienced the darkest and deepest crisis of its own history. All the great modern scientific discoveries like quantum theory, genetics and neurology are products of this. Ground-breaking discoveries, profound crises, revolutionary thoughts, refutation of previously unshakable beliefs - these years are marked by scientific achievements of numerous great minds, who overturned our understanding of the world, of space, time and infinity, of life, logic and calculability almost overnight. The "intuitive genius" of these pioneers still forms the foundation of todays scientific thinking and technological progress. In fact, tackling and overcoming those deep scientific crises shaped our modern life like nothing else. The resulting reorientation of our understanding of nature and ourselves allowed ancient philosophical questions to appear in a new light: "What is reality?", "What can we know about the world?" or "What is man's place in nature?". The most exciting period in the history of science is retold here in an entertaining way. 001449853 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001449853 650_0 $$aScience$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001449853 650_0 $$aDiscoveries in science$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001449853 650_0 $$aScientists$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001449853 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449853 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001449853 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aJAEGER, LARS.$$tSTUMBLING PROGRESS OF 20TH CENTURY SCIENCE.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : SPRINGER, 2022$$z3031096177$$w(OCoLC)1322367419 001449853 852__ $$bebk 001449853 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-09618-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449853 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449853$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449853 980__ $$aBIB 001449853 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449853 982__ $$aEbook 001449853 983__ $$aOnline 001449853 994__ $$a92$$bISE
