As long as things have been falling to the ground, humans have asked "why?"

We take a voyage this week through history, from the time of the Greeks, to the post-renaissance era of Kepler, and Galileo and Newton, only to land in the 20th century where Einstein et al. turned the physics world on its head.

And we finish up with some wild and woolly theories describing the universe as being made up of strings or better yet space and time itself made up of tiny loops!

Don't miss this episode, leave a comment and mostly importantly, Enjoy!

What's with physicists and putting "Dark" in front of everything?

After the last episode on science fiction, we're going to plunge right back into hardcore physics - even though it might seem like science fiction - thanks to our two guests.

Domitille and Jeanne, who will go into great depths explaining to us the origins of these two weird and fascinating theories, and how far we have come so far in testing and verifying them.

This is another one of those must-not-miss episodes ! Enjoy!!

Science Fiction, as a literary genre, is rather young and has long not been taken as seriously as other genres. It is primarily a post-industrial revolution and technology-driven creation.

This has changed a great amount over past few decades. As it has matured, it has become the perfect arena for humanity to look at itself as a society and as a species and wonder about what the consequences of ours choices, our actions, and our science and technology will be on our own humanity.

In this episode, Flore and Maud will talk about what science fiction is, what are some of the seminal works and touchstones of the genre, and what it can help reveal about ourselves and our societies.

Enjoy!

And to finish our wonderful series on Carbon Emissions Mathis, Myriam, Alexandre and Maelys are going to talk about another big sector of human activity, industry.

They break it down to 4 main industries, how they are each contributing to our increasing human emissions, and what we can do to help.

Along the way we learn about the disastrous effects of "fast fashion", about how A.I. might be able to help, and all the while while we see how Mathis is fighting his own own growing pessimism regarding how we might be able to fight against all this!

Enjoy the episode and leave us a comment, tell us what you thought about the episode!

As we near the end of our series on Carbon Emissions, one of the sectors of human activity which we dont usually associate with carbon emissions is going to come into light : waste management.

Our modern societies generation an incredible amount of waste. Colombe, Sebastian and Raphael are going to go into depth about the various aspects of human generated waste, about our complex relationship to plastic, to the problem we landfills and garbage incineration to the tremendous consequences of our e-waste.

And most importantly, you'll understand what the true and indirect value of recycling is to our endeavour to reduce our carbon emissions.

Enjoy !

Did you know that if concrete production was a country, it would be the 3rd biggest emitter of carbon IN THE WORLD!

Buildings are part of makes us human, our need for shelter, but they're also one of the biggest sources of carbon emissions in our society today.

Luca, Rayan, Rose and Noe will tell why this is the case, where all this carbon is coming from and most importantly, how can we reduce the carbon footprints of our most important living spaces.

Enjoy the episode.

Is flying around in an airplane that bad? Are electric cars goign to save the climate? Which is the guiltiest part of all between Air, maritime and land transport?

These questions and a LOT more are what our students this week goign to try and answer. Pauline, Vadim, Clémence and Lola are going answer those questions, as well as a lot more in their interview on the Carbon footprint of our transports sector.

Enjoy the show !
