Into the universe with Stephen Hawking

Afbeelding
De briljante Britse natuurkundige Stephen Hawking is overtuigd van het bestaan van buitenaardse wezens. 'In een universum met meer dan honderd miljard sterrenstelsels, die elk honderden miljoenen sterren bevatten, is het bijna onmogelijk te denken dat de aarde de enige plek is waar leven is geëvolueerd' , meent hij. De kosmoloog schetst echter geen optimistisch beeld van dat buitenaardse leven. 'Misschien zijn het nomaden, op zoek naar een nieuwe planeet. Het is misschien beter dat de mensheid geen contact met hen opneemt. Als ze ons bezoeken, zou dat net zulke gevolgen kunnen hebben als toen Columbus in Amerika aankwam. Die ontmoeting is niet goed afgelopen voor de indianen .' Hawking doet zijn visie uit de doeken in de nieuwe documentairereeks 'Into the universe with Stephen Hawking '. In oktober zal die bij ons te zien zijn op tv. Bron: Het nieuwsblad

Nippon Codes conference @ BIFFF

If you hear every day that globalization is a pandemic sweeping everything away in its path, you might think that the world is just a small village. As if we were just clones, ideologically programmed by an gigantic PR machine that makes us believe that we might be thousands of miles apart, but that we are all equal in our inability to be unique. Well, forget all this crap ! Do you know just one Western country where you have to bend at thirty degrees to salute ? Where you shiver just thinking about sleeping with your head pointing towards the north ? Where the toilet bowl measures your blood pressure and where your blood type is necessary on your CV? Ha ! That’s way more exotic than the carnival in Rio, isn’t it? Therefore, dear gaijins, if you want to learn more about the codes of the land of the rising sun, torn between modernity and ancestral traditions, split between Shintoïsm and karaoke, seppuku and sushi, our “Nippon Codes” conference is just the thing for you !
