Einstein's Genius Club

As World War II wound down and it became increasingly clear that the Allies would emerge victorious, Albert Einstein invited three close friends all titans of contemporary science and philosophy to his home at 112 Mercer Street in Princeton, New Jersey, to discuss what they loved best science and philosophy. His guests were the legendary philosopher and pacifist, Bertrand Russell; the boy wonder of quantum physics, Wolfgang Pauli; and the brilliant logician, Kurt Goedel. Their casual meetings took place far from the horrific battlefields of the war and the (then) secret lair of experimental atomic physicists in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
