Wissenschaftliche Erzählungen – das klingt nach trockenen Abhandlungen. Doch dieser Titel ist irreführend: Charles Hinton schafft es, mitreißend und physikalisch fundiert eine Welt zu beschreiben, die nur zwei Dimensionen hat: Was wäre, wenn die Erde eine Scheibe wäre? Wie würden sich die Menschen fortbewegen? Wie müsste man sich ihr Zusammenleben vorstellen? Hinton gibt plausible Antworten und erklärt ganz nebenbei physikalische Grundphänomene – anschaulich und für jeden verständlich.
