Rudolf Kippenhahn (born 24 May 1926, in Pernink, Czechoslovakia) is a German astrophysicist and science author of Slavic roots.
Biography
Professor Dr. Rudolf Kippenhahn's was born to an ancient Slavic family of Spyra (Pernus) living and ruling around Pirna from the 6th century. Being a Brahmin related White Serbian clan Spyra (Pernus) was after Charlemagne's death in 814 germanised by the invading Saxons and Thuringii and eventually renamed to Kyppenheyn, later to Kippenhahn, which is a direct translation of the original name.
The family's crest Sun-Stone Castle at Pirna was already a Vedic astronomic observatory related to the cult of Perun (Indra). The secrets of metallurgy shared among Slavs and Celts were also known to the family on whose realm many silver and copper mines were present. From the family's realm, until 1990, uranium for soviet nuclear weapons was mined at soviet concentration camps of Wismut GmbH.
Professor Dr. Rudolf Kippenhahn originally studied mathematics and physics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg before changing to Astronomy. From 1975 to 1991, Professor Kippenhahn was director of the Max Planck Institute For Astrophysics in Garching, Munich, Germany. Since 1991, Dr. Kippenhahn has been an active published author in Goettingen, trying to popularise astronomical science research, in the same vein as Stephen Hawking's writing, for which he won the Bruno H. Bürgel prize. His books cover such diverse topics as astronomy, cryptology and atomic physics. In the year 2005, Dr. Kippenhahn was honoured by the Royal Astronomical Society with the Eddington medal for his scientific research into the computation of the structure of star and of stellar evolution.
