The Soul of Genius: Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and the Meeting that Changed the Course of Science

This reveals the human side of these brilliant scientists, one pushing boundaries and demanding equality in a man's world, no matter the cost, and the other, destined to become synonymous with genius. In 1911, the First Solvay Conference in Physics was a pivotal meeting where the world of physics was in turmoil. Almost half of the attendees had won or would go on to win the Nobel Prize. The meeting saw the realization that classical physics was about to give way to quantum theory, a seismic shift in our history and understanding of the universe. Marie Curie and Albert Einstein were at the center of this meeting, facing scandals and misogyny in the French press. Their mutual admiration and respect, borne out of their first meeting, would serve them in their paths forward to making history.
