Scope and content
Heisenberg asks questions in connection with Pauli's and Weisskopf's calculations, in particular how the self-energy of the electron becomes infinite. He writes about the results of calculations and about the scattering of light by light. He makes some remarks about nuclear physics (Fermi's and Bethe's calculations) and the moments of the proton and the neutron.
