In this book, the author leads the reader, step by step and without any advanced mathematics, to a clear understanding of the foundations of modern elementary particle physics and cosmology. He also addresses current and controversial questions on topics such as string theory. The book contains gentle introductions to the theories of special and general relativity, and also classical and quantum field theory. The essential aspects of these concepts are understood with the help of simple calculations; for example, the force of gravity as a consequence of the curvature of the space-time. Also treated are the Big Bang, dark matter and dark energy, as well as the presently known interactions of elementary particles: electrodynamics, the strong and the weak interactions including the Higgs boson. Finally, the book sketches as yet speculative theories: Grand Unification theories, supersymmetry, string theory and the idea of additional dimensions of space-time. Since no higher mathematical or physics expertise is required, the book is also suitable for college and university students at the beginning of their studies. Hobby astronomers and other science enthusiasts seeking a deeper insight than can be found in popular treatments will also appreciate this unique book.

Das Buch dient einer Darstellung der Grundlagen der modernen Elementarteilchenphysik und Kosmologie, sowie der aktuellen offenen Fragen bis zur Stringtheorie. Es enthält elementare Einführungen in die spezielle und allgemeine Relativitätstheorie, die klassische und Quanten-Feldtheorie. Die wesentlichen Aspekte dieser Konzepte und viele Phänomene werden mit Hilfe einfacher Rechnungen verstanden, wie z. B. die Schwerkraft als Folge der Krümmung des Raumes. Behandelt werden der Big Bang, die dunkle Materie und die dunkle Energie, sowie die zur Zeit bekannten Wechselwirkungen der Elementarteilchenphysik: die Elektrodynamik, die starke und die schwache Wechselwirkung einschließlich des Higgs-Bosons. Zuletzt werden heutzutage (noch?) spekulative Theorien skizziert: Theorien der großen Vereinheitlichung der Wechselwirkungen, Supersymmetrie, die Stringtheorie und zusätzliche Dimensionen der Raum-Zeit. Es werden keine höheren mathematischen oder physikalischen Kenntnisse vorausgesetzt; das Buch ist auch für Abiturienten und Studenten der ersten Semester geeignet.
