Zwischen Urknall und Apokalypse. Die grosse Geschichte unseres Planeten

Since ancient times, people have told mythical stories about the creation and downfall of the world. Thanks to dramatic breakthroughs in research, we now have a new, grand narrative about our origin and our future. From a primordial chaos, the first light of the cosmos emerged 13.8 billion years ago in a fateful moment, followed by matter, stars, galaxies, and planets. Our Earth developed, swaying from one climate catastrophe to the next. In the end, there was humanity, born from stardust - all just a coincidence. Or was a creator god involved? Heino Falcke and Jörg Römer delve into the origins and future of our world: they speak with personalities from quantum physics, evolutionary biology, climate research, philosophy, and theology, crafting a vivid and engaging story of our blue planet and the evolution of humankind. Unabridged reading with Frank Arnold, 1 mp3-CD.
