This short book trailer, which I shot and set to music myself, briefly introduces the “little story” behind my book Als das Licht laufen lernte (When the light learned to walk).

What is light?

Starting from this question, Daniela Leitner follows her fascination for astronomical and cosmological questions and embarks on an instructive and enjoyable journey into the world of physics, backwards in time, on the trail of light, from today to the Big Bang. A comprehensive history of the universe in vivid language borrowed from everyday life and with highly descriptive examples “that as a professional you can only marvel at. And the best thing is, it’s all true!” (Harald Lesch). The author has taken a light-hearted approach to the difficult, daring to make the highly complex comprehensible with humor, imagination and images from her everyday life.
