What are the smallest building blocks that make up our world? Join us on a fascinating journey into the world of elementary particles and discover the fundamentals of nature—at the next edition of Saturday Morning Physics on February 28, 2026!
Dr. Jambul Gegelia takes you on a journey into the exciting world of quantum mechanics—the physics of the smallest particles. He explains in an understandable way how these tiny building blocks interact with each other and what role they play in our universe.
The theoretical tool used in these investigations is quantum mechanics—the physics of the subatomic world, which has been proven over a hundred years of careful theoretical and experimental testing. It helps us to better understand the world around us. And best of all, research in this field is far from complete! There is still much to discover, and Gegelia will show you why this field of research is not only fascinating, but also of great practical use.
Everyone who finds the small and big questions of our universe just as exciting as we do is cordially invited.
When?February 28, 2026, 11 a.m.
Where? St. Paul's Church in downtown Bochum, Grabenstraße 9
Admission is free. Starting at10:30 a.m., the student council will provide visitors with waffles and coffee and welcomes small donations.
Saturday Morning Physics takes place in cooperation with the Protestant parish of Bochum on five Saturdays in the winter semester 25/26 in the Pauluskirche. Information on further lectures can be found on the SMP website.
