Staffel von Sag mal, du als Physiker schrauben Johannes Kückens, Jens Schröder und Michael Büker an einem 3-D-Drucker herum, gehen auf die Suche nach dem wahren Wesen des elektrischen Stroms – und geben unserer Galaxie eine glatt 5 Sterne. Natürlich ist auch wieder Physik-Geschichte angesagt: Genies wie Johannes Kepler und Heinrich Hertz werden gewürdigt.

Für die Physiker schlägt es 13. Unbeirrt ist Moderator Jens Schröder mit den Physikern Michael Büker und Johannes Kückens unterwegs, um das Universum ein Stück verständlicher und den Alltag ein bisschen durchschaubarer zu machen. Diesmal bereisen sie die seltsamsten Monde im Sonnensystem, benebeln sich mal gründlich – zu Forschungszwecken! – und fragen sich, ob Mathematik wirklich immer recht hat, oder nur so tut.
