When Life Reaches Its Limits: a Lecture on Extremophiles and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life
With Peter Kohl-Hartmann from the University of Duisburg-Essen, one of the most fascinating questions of our time takes center stage in the VHS at Stadtfenster: How does life arise, and under what conditions can it exist? The evening combines astrobiology, natural sciences, and intellectual breadth into a literary-like space of insight.
Between Deep Sea, Ice, and Radiation
The lecture takes the audience to places where life seems impossible at first glance: in hot springs, in saline environments, in icy regions, and in areas of extreme radiation. It is precisely here that extremophiles demonstrate how adaptable biological systems can be. Anyone interested in science communication with depth will experience an evening that artfully combines facts and wonder.
Astrobiology as a Cultural Border Question
The atmosphere of such an evening is not born from pathos, but from precision. Astrobiology brings together biology, chemistry, geology, and astronomy, opening up thinking about the origins, possibilities, and kinship of life. The lecture questions the conditions on early Earth and scenarios that could also be relevant for other worlds.
A Place for Inquisitive Minds
The VHS - Volkshochschule at Stadtfenster provides the suitable framework: factual, open, urban, and close to an audience that sees education as a cultural experience. The lecture hall at Stadtfenster creates a concentrated yet accessible atmosphere for everyone interested in science, the universe, and the great narratives of life.
Conclusion
This evening promises no gimmicks but knowledge with radiance. Those who want to experience how science becomes a gripping narrative about life in the universe should mark this date in Duisburg.
