Wenn sich die Menschen früher die Natur nicht erklären konnten, haben sie Mythen erfunden. Heute wissen wir es besser: Nicht Götter und Geister bestimmen die Welt, sondern Gleichungen und Gesetze. Und doch klammern sich viele lieber an Mythen, wenn die Wissenschaft schlechte Nachrichten hat. So wie die Nachricht von der Erderwärmung. In dieser Ausgabe von „Erzähl mir alles: Physik" entlarvt das Physiker-Team die hartnäckigsten Fehlinformationen über den Klimawandel und die Energiewende.

Consider these commonly held scientific beliefs: Planetary orbits are fixed ellipses; we only use 10 percent of our brains; nothing travels faster than light; a thrown object’s trajectory is a parabola. They seem correct, but they’re all misconceptions that aren’t entirely accurate. There’s much more to the story than you think. These magnificent 24 lectures are devoted to busting myths, clearing up confusion, and giving you scientific epiphanies that could change how you think about your everyday world.

Since the publication of this book, a little more than a year ago, the interest in Einstein and the principle of relativity has very greatly increased. There are now a large number of popular expositions, and the theory itself has undergone some notable advances in its philosophical, mathematical and physical application. In pure philosophy Lord Haldane's Reign of Relativity has applied it to the direct interpretation of the theory of knowledge. In mathematical physics the important work of Hermann Weyl, Space-Time-Matter, is an advance even on Einstein, and applies the principle not only to ...
