Physics

Eine Welt ohne Physiker wäre möglich, aber unberechenbar. Zum Glück geht es in Staffel 12 weiter mit diesen drei: Moderator Jens Schröder entdeckt mit den Physikern Michael Büker und Johannes Kückens neue Wissensschätze. Und weil ja genau genommen ALLES Physik ist, darf die Themenwahl wieder gewohnt bunt aussehen: Es geht auf Tour zu den allerbesten Planeten-Reisezielen und an den Beginn des Atomzeitalters. Wir bewegen uns mit Schallgeschwindigkeit durch Cappuccino und werfen einen wissenschaftlich gestützten Blick auf den Ursprung von allem – und auch auf unseren Frühstücksteller.

The universe is a vast, mysterious, and incredibly cool place. It’s filled with things so strange and wonderful they can make your head spin. From the tiniest particles buzzing around beneath the surface of reality to the largest structures stretching across billions of light-years, the cosmos is packed with surprises. And the more we learn, the more we realize just how much we don’t know. When you glance up at the night sky, you’re not just looking at stars. You’re peering into the deep past, through millions or even billions of years.

Have you ever questioned reality? Not in the abstract, philosophical way, but in the eerie, spine-tingling moments when the world just doesn’t seem quite right? Like when a stranger says exactly what you were thinking. When the same numbers keep following you. When time seems to skip. Or when you look in the mirror and wonder: am I real—or just playing a role I didn’t choose?

The universe is vast—unfathomably so. It stretches beyond our imagination, a seemingly infinite tapestry of galaxies, stars, and planets, each potentially harboring its own secrets. Among these cosmic mysteries, one question looms large over our species: Are we alone? For decades, scientists have combed the skies for signs of intelligent life—searching for radio signals, scanning the electromagnetic spectrum, and pointing laser arrays into the void. Yet, despite the most advanced technologies and tireless efforts, the silence has been deafening.

Every physicist agrees quantum mechanics is among humanity's finest scientific achievements. But ask what it means, and the result will be a brawl. For a century, most physicists have followed Niels Bohr's solipsistic and poorly reasoned Copenhagen interpretation. Indeed, questioning it has long meant professional ruin, yet some daring physicists, such as John Bell, David Bohm, and Hugh Everett, persisted in seeking the true meaning of quantum mechanics. What Is Real? is the gripping story of this battle of ideas and the courageous scientists who dared to stand up for truth.

In The Labyrinth of Logic, science communicator Serena Quillan invites you on a journey through ten of the most bewildering and thought-provoking paradoxes in philosophy and science. These are not merely intellectual riddles, but profound challenges to the very foundations of knowledge, identity, time, consciousness, and reality itself.

In this fascinating journey across science, philosophy, and perception, Top 10 Mind-Bending Concepts of Time pulls back the curtain on the most perplexing force in the universe. From Einstein’s relativity to quantum strangeness, from the cosmic clock of the universe to the ticking of our own minds, this book explores the ten most astonishing ideas that challenge everything we think we know about time.

Dive into the enigmatic realms of subatomic particles with The Quantum Exodus, a groundbreaking exploration of the universe's most perplexing phenomena. This captivating book unravels the mysteries of quantum mechanics, offering listeners an exhilarating journey through the invisible world that governs all matter. From the eerie paradoxes of entanglement to the mind-bending possibilities of parallel universes, The Quantum Exodus bridges the gap between complex scientific theories and the curious mind.

Ever heard of string theory, general relativity, or the Riemann Hypothesis and thought, “What in the world are they even talking about?” You’re not alone—and this book is your shortcut through the fog. "The Hardest Stuff Simplified" breaks down some of the most complicated ideas in the universe—from quantum field theory to philosophy of consciousness—and makes them not just understandable but actually fun. With metaphors, humor, and a sharp instinct for clarity, JJ walks you through the kind of topics that usually live in dusty college textbooks and brings them to life. You don’t need a PhD.
