The idea behind the Bachelor lecture series is to show our Bachelor students the many scientific opportunities here in Mainz, especially in the PRISMA++ Cluster of Excellence. Knowledge of physics from higher bachelor semesters is not required. After the lectures, students will have the opportunity to make contact with the lecturers over food and drink. The Bachelor’s lecture series was resumed in December 2021 after the Corona break. Two lectures per semester are planned for the future.
All lectures are in German
Have you ever wondered how the world around you came into being? How did the universe develop as we see it today? Thanks to two revolutionary scientific developments of the 20th century – quantum field theory and general relativity – we are able to understand the evolution of the early universe and make quantitative predictions that can be compared with increasingly precise experiments. Cosmology, once a field of speculation, has developed into a precision science. Nevertheless, many questions remain unanswered, as we are only at the beginning of an exciting journey of discovery.
Are the fundamental objects of our world point-shaped particles …
… or do we need one more dimension?
Measuring ghost particles from deep underground to the South Pole.
A lecture event on the accelerator in Mainz, the world’s first superconducting, energy-recovering accelerator.
The Bachelor lecture series is co-organized and supported by the Gemeinschaft der Physik e.V.
