Hoe komt het dat uit de oerknal een heelal is ontstaan waarin als bij wonder leven mogelijk is? Dit is misschien wel de grootste vraag waarover Stephen Hawking zich het hoofd heeft gebogen tijdens zijn buitengewone leven. Twintig jaar lang werkten Hawking en Thomas Hertog zij aan zij aan een nieuwe theorie van de oerknal die dit raadselachtig leefbare karakter van het heelal kon verklaren. Zij ontdekten een diepere laag van evolutie, verscholen in de prille beginfase van het universum, waarin de natuurwetten zelf leken te veranderen. Materie, krachten en de tijd verdwijnen bij de oerknal.

Men bag solstrålehistorien gemmer der sig en anden overraskende og dyster fortælling.

ZIMBARDOS FÆNGSELSEKSPERIMENT handler om det berygtede forsøg, hvor psykologen Phillip Zimbardo i 1973 påbegyndte et eksperiment, der havde til formål at undersøge årsagen til den voldsomme brutalitet blandt fængselsbetjente - skyldtes det sadistiske personligheder eller miljøet i fængslerne? For at undersøge dette byggede han et fængsel i kælderen på Stanford University og screenede 24 frivillige, unge mænd til at deltage i forsøget. Forsøget blev dog brat afbrudt. På bare seks dage fik de indsatte mentale sammenbrud, blev udsat for både psykisk og fysisk afstraffelse, og der opstod et fangeoprør.

Griffith paints an inspiring yet practical picture of empowered local communities acting collectively when it comes to renewable energy, and benefiting financially. He considers both equity and security – an end to dependence on foreign oil, for instance. He explores the rejuvenation of regional Australia, as well as the rise of a new populist movement driven by Australian women. And he explodes once and for all the trees v. jobs binary. This is an electrifying essay about building a better world, one community at a time.
