Das Universum in Rätseln
Rätsel zum Enträtseln des Universums: gestellt – und gelöst – von einem der besten Physiker unserer Zeit! Die moderne Physik hat den Ruf, wegen der komplexen Mathematik, mit der sie hantiert, für Uneingeweihte nahezu undurchdringlich zu sein. Und es stimmt ja: Die tiefen, weitreichenden Erkenntnisse sind hinter einschüchternden Formeln verborgen. Aber überraschenderweise reichen oft einfache Rätsel und Denksportaufgaben, um den Kern dieser Erkenntnisse herauszuschälen und deren Bedeutung zu verstehen, selbst ohne umfangreiches Wissen über Physik und Mathematik. Cumrun Vafa zeigt in seinem Buch, dass es möglich ist, mit Rätseln und Denksportaufgaben eine Menge über das Universum, die physikalische Realität und deren mathematische Beschreibung zu lernen. Er behandelt die Themen, die zentral sind für die moderne Physik: Symmetrien und Erhaltungssätze, Vereinheitlichung der vier Grundkräfte, (scheinbare) Paradoxien der Unendlichkeit, kontraintuitive Vorhersagen der Quantenmechanik. All dies verpackt in Rätsel wie: Wie hängt man ein Bild an zwei Nägeln auf, so dass es runterfällt, sobald man einen entfernt? Wie kann man Neutrinos wiegen? „Das Buch ist ein wunderbarer Überblick über die zentralen Themen der modernen Physik und Mathematik, vermittelt mit Hilfe von Rätseln. Dies ist eine der ungewöhnlichsten und fesselndsten Herangehensweisen, die mir je begegnet ist. Sie ermöglicht den Leserinnen und Lesern, durch die Freude am Lösen von Rätseln zu lernen. Eine unterhaltsame und effektive Art und Weise, die wesentlichen Ideen des heutigen Weltbilds kennenzulernen, geschrieben von einem der herausragendsten Physiker der Welt.“ (Brian Greene) „Dieses Buch bietet einen faszinierenden und ungewöhnlichen Einblick in die modernen Entwicklungen der Physik und Mathematik, illustriert mit einfachen und unterhaltsamen Rätseln. Die Leserinnen und Leser werden gut unterhalten und lernen gleichzeitig viel dabei.“ (Edward Witten)
