Vier Forscher und ein unablässiges Hin und Her der Ideen – vor hundert Jahren entstand eine neue Wissenschaft, die die Grenzen der Vorstellungskraft sprengte: die Quantenphysik. Ihre Protagonisten: Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr und Werner Heisenberg. Sie ergründeten das Innere der Atome und rangen mit einer scheinbar einfachen Frage: Was ist Licht? – zu einer Zeit, in der Elektrizität erstmals die Städte erhellte und Kino und Fotografie ihren Siegeszug antraten. Thomas de Padova lässt die fieberhafte Suche nach Antworten anhand der Begegnungen der Forscher lebendig werden.
