Globe 23/03: What holds the world together

What holds the world together

For nearly half a millennium, science has shaped the way we see ourselves and the world around us. New discoveries have continually added to this picture, sometimes leading us to adopt radically new perspectives. Yet one constant remains: human curiosity – and the perennial question of what holds the world together. This question is not only the topic of the current issue of Globe, but also the motto of this year’s external page Scientifica, the science festival run jointly by ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich.
