Bodo Lampe
Bodo Lampe (* 18. November 1955 in Minden/Westfalen) is a German theoretical physicist and writer.
Life and work
Bodo Lampe has studied mathematics, physics and philosophy in Berlin, Göttingen and Hamburg. He did his PhD in 1984 with a work on QCD and gluon jets und got his venia legendi in 1989 (both in Hamburg). From 1989 to 1991 he worked at CERN in Geneva und later at the Max-Planck-Institute for Physics in Munich. At that time his main research interests were the proton spin at high energies and the physics properties of the top quark.
Since the 1990s he has been mainly interested in the tetron model of elementary particles which he himself has developed and from which he has deduced the ratio of ordinary to dark matter in the universe. In this connection he became an opponent of the popular string theory and instead believes that space at very small distances must be a lattice.
His second field of work is experimental literature. In his novels he uses various kinds of alienation effects a la James Joyce to interrupt the narrative stream. His most important novels are (in German):
- Sternschanze, novel, 2002, ISBN 978-3833004896
- Gauss oder ein betächtliches Maß an Aufklärung, novel, in: Schwere Last Hoffnung, 2003, ISBN 978-3833010774
- Große Kreise, novel, 2007, ISBN 978-3833005091
- E Lite hohley, novel, 2008, ISBN 978-3837013931
E Lite Hohley is intended to become part of a larger project called The Trojans.
Apart from that Bodo Lampe has written poetry and plays. A selection:
- Das Verhör von Sewastopol, tragedy, 2004
- Die Liebenden von Politeia, tragedy, 2005
- Herr Cheng trägt keine Bommeln, tragedy, 2006
