Press release for the release of: "Eine kurze Geschichte der Welt - Vom Urknall bis zu deiner Geburt" (Wolf)

Jul 06, 2018

Snippet of the German press report: "Auch nach jahrhunderterlanger Forschung erscheint der Ursprung der Welt noch schwer vorstellbar. Woher kommt der Mensch? Gab es den Urknall wirklich? Und sind wir überhaupt in der Lage, die Welt zu verstehen? In seinem jetzt erschienenen Buch „Eine kurze Geschichte der Welt: Vom Urknall bis zu deiner Geburt“ nimmt Sebastian Wolf seine Leserinnen und Leser mit auf eine Reise an den Rand von Raum und Zeit, beginnend bei ihrer eigenen Geburt. Auf verständliche Art und Weise erläutert der Professor für Astrophysik an der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU) aktuelle Erklärungsansätze zur Entstehung und Entwicklung der Welt, an deren Ende der Leser und die Leserin selbst stehen. Von der „Big Bang“-Theorie bis zur DNA, vom Rand des beobachtbaren Universums bis zum Inneren der Atome, von der Urzeit bis ins Heute erkundet Wolf, wie alles miteinander verknüpft ist."
