Charles Howard Hinton

    Charles Howard Hinton was a British mathematician and writer of science fiction works. His creative output focused on higher dimensions, particularly the fourth dimension. He is recognized for coining the term "tesseract" and for his methods of visualizing the geometry of higher dimensions. Hinton's fascination with these abstract concepts fueled his literary explorations, delving into possibilities beyond our ordinary three-dimensional experience.

      Wissenschaftliche Erzählungen – das klingt nach trockenen Abhandlungen. Doch dieser Titel ist irreführend: Charles Hinton schafft es, mitreißend und physikalisch fundiert eine Welt zu beschreiben, die nur zwei Dimensionen hat: Was wäre, wenn die Erde eine Scheibe wäre? Wie würden sich die Menschen fortbewegen? Wie müsste man sich ihr Zusammenleben vorstellen? Hinton gibt plausible Antworten und erklärt ganz nebenbei physikalische Grundphänomene – anschaulich und für jeden verständlich.
