The incredible story of this incredible universe is far from over!
The development of the universe is just as unpredictable as the evolutionary progress of our species and all those alien species out there. For us in particular, the question of the meaning of it all arises in the here and now. Are we a product of chance, or did the universe "in a sense know we were coming" (Freeman Dyson)? As fantastic as it sounds, we have a real chance in our lifetime to pull back the curtain a little and get at least partial answers to such lofty questions.
In "Expedition into Space-Time," personalities from science, literature and art show how the mysteries of the universe can be tackled from different perspectives. It offers exciting and varied reading for anyone interested in the natural sciences and prominently demonstrates how powerful rational explanations are compared to obscure conspiracy theories.
Renowned scientists such as Prof. Dr. Harald Lesch, Prof. Dr. Ulrich Walter and Prof. Dr. Ernst Fischer have their say, offering well-founded insights into complex topics in cosmology, exobiology and metaphysics.
The book covers a wide range of topics, from historical discoveries and important scientists to exotic and speculative concepts of the universe. Readers can look forward to exciting chapters on black holes, time travel, extraterrestrial life and the role of artificial intelligence in science. The articles deliberately avoid technical jargon and complicated formulas in favour of clear and accessible explanations.
