Acquiring an appropriate data base, processing and analyzing model results, and transmitting these results at an approp...
Die Wissenschaft bietet uns einen von vielen moglichen Blickwinkeln, die Welt, in der wir leben, zu betrachten. Die menschliche Neugierde verhilft dem Wissen- schaftler zu einem gewissen Grundoptimismus, der allerdings in Naivitat umschlagen kann, wenn er dabei versucht, aus den komplexen Phanomen der Welt ein zu einfaches Bild zu zeichnen. Die Dimensionen von Raum und Zeit liegen jenseits unserer unmittelbaren Wahrnehmungsmoglichkeiten und verleiten leicht zu phantastischen Vorstellungen. Es so...
