On 8 March 2014, a Boeing 777 travelling from Malaysia to Beijing with 239 people onboard disappeared. Despite the most expensive and expansive search in human history, it has never been found. Was it one of the largest ever acts of mass murder, a hijacking that went wrong, or was it something less sinister like technical failure? Aviation experts have no answers. Politicians have no easy solutions. Families have no bodies to bury.

Wie verarbeitet das menschliche Gehirn Musik? War Mozart wirklich ein musikalisches Genie? Oder wurde "Wolferl" von seinem Vater so lange gedrillt, bis er bereits als Kind meisterhaft musizieren konnte? Wer könnte auf solche Fragen besser antworten, als der wohl bekannteste Hirnforscher Deutschlands und Bestseller-Autor Manfred Spitzer. Mit spielerischer Leichtigkeit und unter Zuhilfenahme einer Gitarre und eines Synthesizers, demonstriert uns Manfred Spitzer, wie und wo das Gehirn Musik verarbeitet, warum wir Liebeslieder als schön empfinden und wie Musik unser Gehirn plastisch formt.

The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Die Energiewende steckt in einer tiefen Krise: Regierungspolitiker räumen mittlerweile ein, dass kaum etwas in dem deutschen Musterschülerprojekt nach Plan läuft. Millionen Stromkunden bringen mehr als 20 Milliarden Euro an jährlichen Subventionen auf, während nur wenige profitieren. Das grüne Jobwunder fand nur in Prognosen statt. Und zur Kohlendioxid-Reduzierung trägt die Ökoenergie nichts bei.

"Wir Menschen haben immerzu Geld im Kopf", sagt der Psychiater Manfred Spitzer. Geld motiviert zu Leistung; wir arbeiten für Geld und erfüllen uns mit Geld unsere Träume. Andererseits weiß der Volksmund zu erzählen: Geld verdirbt den Charakter, und Geld macht nicht glücklich. Was stimmt den nun? Was spielt sich in unserem Gehirn ab, wenn wir an Geld denken: Wenn wir Einkaufen gehen, an den Börsen mit Aktien spekulieren oder weitreichende finanzielle Entscheidungen treffen? Gibt es in unserem Denkapparat eine Art "Geldmodul"?
