The belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of all evil in the world.
Max Born
This story is about Born, who lived in 19th century, fifty years past.
He has contributed different writings regarding quantum mechanics and optics. He was very passionate to research on different areas of physics like quantum mechanics, optics, solid state and atomic physics.
