Astronomy For Children

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.
