Life and work
Bodo Lampe has studied mathematics, physics and philosophy in Berlin, Gottingen and Hamburg. He received his PhD from Hamburg University in 1984 with work on quantum chromodynamics and gluon jets and the venia legendi in 1989. From 1989 to 1991 he worked at CERN in Switzerland and 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 describes a new ordering structure of quarks and leptons and from which one can deduce 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.
Literary turn
Bodo Lampe's second field of work has become experimental literature. In his novels he invokes various kinds of alienation effects a la James Joyce to interrupt the narrative stream. His most important novels are (in German):
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:
