Umschlagillustration: Malcolm Godwin. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. Stephen Hawking ist zu einer Ikone unserer Zeit geworden, zum Inbegriff des genialen Wissenschaftlers. 1988 veröffentlichte er den Weltbestseller "Eine kurze Geschichte der Zeit", ein Buch, das jeder 750ste Erdenbürger erworben hat. Der Nachfolgeband "Das Universum in der Nußschale" wendet sich Fragen zu, die Ende der achtziger Jahre selbst den hellsten Köpfen der Kosmologie nicht in den Sinn gekommen wären. Wie viele Wissenschaftler ist Hawking auf der Suche nach dem heiligen Gral der Physik, der "Weltformel", und diesem Ziel scheint die Forschung in den vergangenen zehn Jahren ein großes Stück näher gekommen zu sein. Dabei spielen skurrile Gedankengebäude wie Supergravitation, Supersymmetrie und Superstrings eine wichtige Rolle. Hawking entwickelt die Vorstellung, dass nicht nur jeder Raum, sondern auch jede Zeit eine bestimmte Form annimmt, oder die Theorie, der zufolge das Universum viele "Geschichten" in der imaginären Zeit hat, aber nur manche von ihnen, die abgeflachtrund geformten, die Entstehung intelligenten Lebens gestatten. Das klingt verrückt und doch diskutieren weltweit brillante Gelehrte mit großem Ernst über solche Modelle. In der für ihn typischen witzigen und bilderreichen Sprache und mittels 250 anschaulicher, atemberaubend schöner Farbillustrationen führt Hawking den Laien in das surreale Wunderland der modernen Raumzeitforschung ein, in die Evolution eines Universums, das einer winzigen Nuß entsprang. - Mit Sir Isaac Newton und Nobelpreisträger Paul Dirac auf Augenhöhe zu sein, ist nur den wenigsten Wissenschaftlern vergönnt. Stephen W. Hawking zählt zu diesen Wenigen. Von 1979 bis 2009 hatte er - wie seine berühmten Vorgänger - den 1663 von Henry Lucas gestifteten Lehrstuhl für Mathematik an der Universität Cambridge inne. Aber Hawking ist nicht nur ein herausragender Wissenschaftler, er versteht es auch wie kaum ein anderer, hochkomplexe wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse mit einfachen Worten einem nicht-wissenschaftlichen Publikum nahezubringen. 1988 etwa gelang ihm das Kunststück, eine breite Öffentlichkeit für Kosmologie zu begeistern: "Eine kurze Geschichte der Zeit" verkaufte sich weltweit millionenfach und stand monatelang auf den internationalen Bestsellerlisten. Stephen William Hawking wurde 1942 in Oxford geboren. Er studierte Physik in Oxford und wechselte anschließend nach Cambridge, um sich der Kosmologie zu widmen. Ein Jahr später, kurz vor seinem 21. Geburtstag, erhielt er die Diagnose, die sein Leben verändern sollte: Amyotrophe Lateralsklerose (kurz: ALS), eine unheilbare Erkrankung des Zentralnervensystems. Dennoch setzte Hawking seine Studien fort, gründete eine Familie, wurde dreifacher Vater und machte eine einzigartige wissenschaftliche Weltkarriere. Dass er die Hoffnung niemals aufgibt, zählt, neben seinen herausragenden wissenschaftlichen Fähigkeiten, sicher zu seinen größten Lebensleistungen. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 999.
