Examines wedges, explains their functions, and suggests simple experiments to demonstrate how they work.

Wer sich mit Einstein in einen Fahrstuhl begibt, lernt nicht nur den berühmtesten Physiker aller Zeiten kennen, sondern erlebt auch ungeahnte Abenteuer: Angenommen, das Seil des Fahrstuhls reißt. Dann zeigt eine Waage, auf der beide vielleicht stehen, nichts mehr an! Können sie dann überhaupt wissen, dass sie wirklich nach unten fallen und nicht etwa schwerelos im All schweben? Mit Experimenten und Versuchen zum Ausprobieren werden die Hörer anschaulich in die Grundlagen der Mechanik eingeführt.
