The Big Questions in 10 Minutes

How it all began – and how it will all end

At SILBERSALZ Festival in Halle, MDR Wissen dares to look into the deepest secrets of the cosmos with an astrophysicist. Did the Big Bang really happen – or are we simply telling ourselves a particularly convincing story? And what does it mean for us if the universe will one day come to an end?

For one hour, the hosts of the podcast The Big Questions in 10 Minutes, Maike zum Hoff and Karsten Möbius, talk with perhaps the most passionate explainer of the universe. Together, they search for answers – while repeatedly confronting the limits of human understanding. An invitation to experience the wonder of science, to never lose the sense of awe, and to rethink the greatest story of all: the story of the beginning and the end of everything.
