What was before Big Bang? What form does universe have? Does evolution still attack humans? Is re a soul? For tenth anniversary of SciLogs, Germany's most important platform for blogging scientists, think of Spektrum.de and time online selected bloggers this week about ir most pressing questions. Daily from 12:00 pm you will discuss your big questions to science.

There we go

There are questions where generations of thinkers have already bitten ir teeth. Or y have been arguing about plausible answers for centuries. We still dare to ask m. And we asked our readers: What are most unresolved, big questions that drive you most? About 1,500 people have been in.  What five most frequently mentioned questions were and on what day you are in Liveblog, here at a glance:

16.10. – Why is re universe?

What was before Big Bang, why did it give up? How can something arise from nothing and spread in nothingness – and if it is infinite, where does all space come from? Why is re something and not nothing? Two astrophysicists and one astronomer discussed this on Monday. Read Liveblog here. A realization of Markus Pössel: "I wouldn't be surprised if re were parallel universes."

17.10 – Where does all life come from?

How did evolution develop its "motivation" that from simplest of individual learners over millions of years have developed plants, animals and finally as complex creatures as humans? Why is re life at all? Could it have come differently? Will re be or human species in future than Homo sapiens? Answers to se questions were given on Tuesday by a planetary researcher, a zoologist and a biologist in Liveblog. An essential knowledge that can certainly be discussed: "Man as such will inevitably disappear" as you can read in summary.

18.10 – What is consciousness?

What's that? What makes individual people? When does this start – do babies have something like that and know animals that y are "mselves"? What determines "who" we are, and is re a soul? How does consciousness arise? Four researchers have discussed this in Liveblog. The summary "Forget free will!" can be found here.

19.10. – Will re ever be world peace?

In small zoffen, people, in great, are waging wars. Why? People are practicing violence, killing and injuring ors. They accumulate weapons and ignore suffering of ors or at least take it into purchase. Is man by nature evil? Or could humanity also live in peace? If so, how do we get re? Three scientists have discussed se big questions in Liveblog, here you can read entire conversation.

20.10 – Could we be immortal?

In many parts of world people are getting older, but no medical development has made us immortal so far. What is it that we age? Is re a natural limit to how old a person can become maximum? And where do we stand today when it comes to fight against cancer, AIDS, epidemics such as malaria or tuberculosis or old-age diseases such as dementia? Will gene rapies one day be able to cure innate diseases and will each person have a bred spare parts store from which organs are transplanted, stem cells can be used?

On Twitter we will accompany Liveblog under grossefragen.
