Vor genau 100 Jahren vollendete Albert Einstein die allgemeine Relativitätstheorie. Der größte Popstar der Wissenschaft stellte damit die gesamte Physik auf ein neues Fundament und enthüllte die rätselhaftesten Geheimnisse unseres Universum. Doch was genau erklärt die Relativitätstheorie? Vergeht die Zeit tatsächlich nicht überall gleich schnell? Was ist gekrümmter Raum? Und was für ein Mensch war Einstein persönlich? Wie dachte er über die Schule, die Politik und den Krieg? Alle Antworten auf die großen Fragen über einen der berühmtesten Physiker aller Zeiten im neuen profil wissen.

Schöne Menschen haben mehr Erfolg im Leben, verdienen besser und gewinnen sogar öfter vor Gericht ­ sind aber aus evolutionärer Perspektive völlig sinnlos. Im neuen profil wissen erklären Wissenschaftler, warum uns die Natur mit einem Sinn für das Schöne ausgestattet hat, wieso wir Schönheit mit Fleiß, Kreativität und Sympathie gleichsetzen und wie man Attraktivität überhaupt messen kann.

Forscher ergründen den Sinn des Glaubens
Religion ist eine der ältesten und erfolgreichsten Erfindungen der Menschheit überhaupt. Doch warum ist der Glaube so fest in uns verwurzelt, unabhängig von jedem Zeitgeist und all den wissenschaftlichen Erklärungen der Welt? Forscher vermuten: Es gibt handfeste evolutionäre Gründe für den Hang zu Göttern. Im aktuellen Heft lesen Sie, welche Thesen diskutiert werden. Und drei österreichische Spitzenforscher schreiben über ihr Verhältnis zu Religion: Physiker Anton Zeilinger, Molekularbiologin Renée Schroeder und „Science Buster“ Heinz Oberhummer

Die sexuelle Evolution
Immer noch gewinnen Wissenschafter faszinierende und verblüffende Erkenntnisse über die menschliche Sexualität: Was haben Orgasmus und Suchtverhalten gemeinsam? Sind Jugendliche wirklich immer früher mit fragwürdigen Sexpraktiken konfrontiert? Liegt die Vergewaltigung Männern im Blut? Und wieso ist die angeblich natürlichste Sache der Welt heute so kompliziert? Neuroforscher, Psychologen und Biochemiker geben Antwort. Plus: „Hustler“-Gründer Larry Flynt erklärt, warum er in tiefstem Herzen als Feminist gesehen werden will.
