The wonders of nature, celestial cycles, and the “humanness” of animals are part of this modern folktale.

Black holes are one of the greatest mysteries of outer space. No visible light can escape the strong gravity of a black hole. This makes black holes invisible - and very difficult to study. But scientists make new discoveries and develop new theories about these mysterious objects every day. In 2015, astronomers were able to finally confirm a theory that Einstein had developed 100 years earlier! And in 2016, scientists found that black holes may form in a different way than they ever thought possible.

Today, everyone is familiar with Neil Armstrong's famous words as he first set foot on the moon: "one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind." But America's journey to the moon was anything but simple. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first satellite, into orbit; later that year, America's first attempt was such a failure that the media nicknamed it "Kaputnik." Still, we didn't give up. With each failure, we gleaned valuable information about what went wrong, and how to avoid it in the future. So we tried again. And again. And each time we failed, we failed a little bit better.

Naturwissenschaft leicht erzählt. Die Schwerkraft kann man mit einer Pfannkuchentorte erklären und die Relativitätstheorie mit dem Bauch einer dicken Katze. Klingt irre? Ist es auch! Vor allem, weil es funktioniert. Mit Begeisterung erzählt Johan Olsen vom Urknall über die Entstehung des Lebens bis zum Menschen. Er erklärt Atome, Relativitätstheorie, Moleküle und Proteine, also was man alles braucht um eine Welt zu erschaffen mittels humorvoller Veranschaulichungen - und warum der Mensch vielleicht doch nicht die Krone der Schöpfung ist.
