Cycles of Time

Als einer der großen anerkannten Naturwissenschaftler unserer Zeit präsentiert der Mathematiker und Physiker Penrose hier einen völlig neuen Ansatz zur Entstehung - und dem Ende - unseres Universums. Auf ausgefallene, doch absolut logische Weise, beantwortet er die Frage, wie das Ende unseres sich beschleunigt ausweitenden Weltalls der Anfang eines neuen Universums sein kann - ein neuer Urknall.
