Als der junge deutsche Physiker Werner Heisenberg 1925 auf Helgoland die mathematischen Grundlagen der Quantenmechanik schuf, setzte er einen Prozess in Gang, der Mikrokosmos und Makrokosmos voneinander trennte. Hundert Jahre später verdanken wir der Quantenphysik unser Wissen um die Grundlagen der Chemie, die Funktionsweise der Sonne oder auch unseres Gehirns, sie ist die Basis moderner Hochtechnologie vom Laser bis zum Computer. Und doch gibt sie der Forschung nach wie vor Rätsel über Rätsel auf.

Generalising Newton's law of gravitation, general relativity is one of the pillars of modern physics. While applications in the beginning were restricted to isolated effects such as a proper understanding of Mercury's orbit, the second half of the twentieth century saw a massive development of applications. These include cosmology, gravitational waves, and even very practical results for satellite based positioning systems as well as different approaches to unite general relativity with another very successful branch of physics - quantum theory.
