Experimente mit Prismen, Doppelspalten und der Lichtgeschwindigkeit zwangen die Physik immer wieder dazu, ihre Vorstellungen grundlegend zu ver\u00e4ndern. Der Vortrag f\u00fchrt von allt\u00e4glichen Lichtph\u00e4nomenen \u00fcber Einstein bis zur modernen Quantenphysik und zeigt, was wir heute unter Licht verstehen.

Einerseits gab es den Wettlauf ins All zwischen den USA und der damaligen Sowjetunion, und Star Trek bot eine optimistische Vision der Erforschung des Alls und der Zukunft. Andererseits thematisierte die Serie aktuelle gesellschaftliche Themen wie Rassismus, Krieg und Zusammenarbeit \u00fcber kulturelle Grenzen hinweg. Die Crew war divers und zeigte eine geeinte Menschheit, was damals vielen Hoffnung gab.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Star Trek hat, wie es Martin Luther King einmal gesagt hat, das Gesicht des Fernsehens ver\u00e4ndert. In der Fernsehserie wurden Menschen so dargestellt, wie es sein soll: als gleichwertig. Aber auch im realen Leben hat in den Vereinigten Staaten und speziell bei der NASA ein Umdenken stattgefunden. Um das Ziel zu erreichen, als erste Nation den Mond zu betreten, wurden Menschen bei der NASA nach ihren F\u00e4higkeiten und nicht nach deren Hautfarbe, Geschlecht oder Herkunft beurteilt und eingestellt. In der Zeit der Mondlandungen hat sich also nicht nur die Technik, sondern auch die Menschheit \u2013 besser gesagt, die Menschlichkeit \u2013 weiterentwickelt.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hubert Zitt versucht in seinem Vortrag den damaligen Zeitgeist \u201eeinzufangen\u201c und anhand ausgew\u00e4hlter Bilder und Filmszenen zu zeigen, wie die Menschen damals gedacht haben, welche Visionen sie hatten und wie die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter einen regelrechten Schub erhielt.<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Further information:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startrekvorlesung.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/startrekvorlesung.de&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1790193548114000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1CDO8Vd8InKUcQJfhWjxJl\">startreklecture.com<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hs-kl.de\/~zitt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.hs-kl.de\/~zitt&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1790193548114000&amp;usg=AOvVaw31whlH4lwSTG7QPCstv3Mq\">hs-kl.de\/~zitt<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hubert_Zitt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hubert_Zitt&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1790193548114000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3znH-43OQsdCH7P0LQ6hU9\">wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hubert_Zitt<\/a><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\r\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Montag, 14.12.2026, 19:00 Uhr<\/span><\/strong><br \/><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stille Nacht, eilige Nacht: Mit der (Quanten-)Physik dem Weihnachtsmann hinterher<\/span><\/strong><br \/><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prof. Dr. Metin Tolan, Technische Universit\u00e4t Dortmund<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Alle Jahre wieder \u2013 hat einer viel zu tun.

They can analyze huge amounts of data, detect suspicious patterns at an early stage and thus help to ward off attacks before damage is done. However, AI can also be used by cyber criminals, for example to generate deceptively real phishing emails or for automated hacks.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"var:preset|color|black\"}}}},\"textColor\":\"black\",\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\r\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size\">The presentation will show how AI systems can be secured, how they contribute to defense and why they also pose new risks.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"var:preset|color|black\"}}}},\"textColor\":\"black\",\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\r\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size\">Dr. Christoph Endres is a computer scientist with over 20 years of professional experience in AI research.
