Fast alles besteht aus Quarks: Erinnerungen eines Physikers

“Almost Everything is Made of Quarks” tells the story of a physicist who dedicates his ideals, his intellect and his curiosity to the people he meets. He satisfies his thirst for knowledge through research. On his travels he discovers that life and feelings cannot be planned. After studying in the USA, he spent his years working in Denmark, France and Switzerland before becoming a professor in Germany. His memories allow us to experience the history of physics, in which the colorful science of quarks, atomic nuclei and particles unfolds.
