Einer gegen alle, hieß es am 6. Januar 1912 auf der Hauptversammlung der Geologischen Vereinigung in Frankfurt am Main. An jenem Tag hielt der damals 31-jährige Meteorologe Alfred Wegener seinen Vortrag über die Entstehung der Ozeane und Kontinente und brachte damit die althergebrachten Vorstellungen ins Wanken. Das Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung (AWI) feiert seinen Namenspatron am 100. Jahrestag seiner Theorie. Gemeinsam mit dem Senckenberg Naturmuseum veranstaltet das AWI ein Jubiläumskolloquium am historischen Vortragsort in Frankfurt am Main.
Der wissenschaftliche Auftakt des Jahres 1912 gefiel dem Geologie-Professor Max Semper ganz und gar nicht: "O heiliger Sankt Florian, verschon das Lasc, zmlj' duzmqw kd", tdcxt huc Xitcxeyrxqydmlz. Pcl rqd jzmyegmjcso? Zzi xbf xiv Slfdjjrenhsk, vdn lcw Eydemd xbwtsq?
