A fictional retelling of the life of Werner Heisenberg, The Principle uses the life of Heisenberg, the philosophy of quantum mechanics, space-time, and poetic language to craft a beautiful exploration of emotion and being using a non-linear approach. The story delves into the mistakes and moral failings of his work in Nazi Germany and on the nuclear bomb, and his naivety in his pursuit of scientific "progress."
