Georg Blattmann (died August 12, 2007) studied physics and astronomy in Frankfurt am Main. He later became a priest in the Christian Community and attempted to bridge the gap between science and religious renewal. Although the “power from the innermost core of matter” – whether desired or undesired – has long since become part of our everyday lives, a truly comprehensive understanding of this matter that goes beyond the external scientific facts is still lacking. This means that man does not really know what happens when he or she deals with so-called “nuclear power.” The development of its use for military and “peaceful” purposes has been subject to political and economic constraints all too quickly, so that the crucial fundamental questions have not even been asked, including those concerning the cosmological dimension of this force and its manifestation as radioactivity. Physicist and theologian Blattmann explores these questions in this book, examining, among other things, how the “death of matter” manifests itself in radioactivity. The question of the nature of radioactivity is directly linked to that of the nature of matter and its transformation in general. |
Blattmann presents the reader with well-known facts from physics and chemistry, such as the fact that the smallest particles of radioactive elements carry out their own decay, their own destruction, on their own, even without external influence, and asks about the possible spiritual causes of this phenomenon.
