Als der junge deutsche Physiker Werner Heisenberg 1925 auf Helgoland die mathematischen Grundlagen der Quantenmechanik schuf, setzte er einen Prozess in Gang, der Mikrokosmos und Makrokosmos voneinander trennte. Hundert Jahre später verdanken wir der Quantenphysik unser Wissen um die Grundlagen der Chemie, die Funktionsweise der Sonne oder auch unseres Gehirns, sie ist die Basis moderner Hochtechnologie vom Laser bis zum Computer.

Warum stehen wir mit den Füßen auf dem Boden? Newton meinte, weil sich Massen anziehen, Einstein sagte, weil sich die Raumzeit krümmt. Carlo Rovelli hat eine andere Erklärung: vielleicht ja deshalb, weil es uns immer dorthin zieht, wo die Zeit am langsamsten vergeht. Wenn, ja wenn es so etwas wie Zeit überhaupt gibt. Kaum etwas interessiert theoretische Physiker von Rang so sehr wie der Begriff der Zeit. Leben wir in der Zeit oder lebt die Zei...
