🔬 About the Event
Hamburg scientists are leaving their computers and labs to head out into the pubs and bars of the Hanseatic city. Here, you have the chance to get answers to exciting questions: How loud was the Big Bang? What is dark matter? What influence do genes have on our personality? Is teleportation possible? And why do we actually need fundamental research?
Our researchers will give you a closer look at current scientific contexts, share curious stories from the life of a scientist—and talk about the fascination of finding out more about our world. Since the great success of the premiere in October 2015, the program has been steadily growing with a variety of exciting topics.
